Hump Nose Surgery: Feel Confident About Your Side Profile!

<Actual DM Plastic Surgery rhinoplasty case>

Because the nose is at the center of the face, it has a significant impact on one’s overall impression.

As rhinoplasty has become as common as double-eyelid surgery, its technical quality has improved considerably. When surgery is performed with consideration for facial balance and harmony, natural-looking rhinoplasty is possible. Therefore, it is best to undergo surgery with a specialist who has accurate diagnostic skills and extensive clinical experience, which can lead to a highly satisfactory result!

The nose comes in many different shapes, just like the eyes.

A straight nasal bridge with a high tip is generally considered an ideal nose shape, but there is also a type of nose in which the nasal bridge protrudes and creates a sharp impression.

The type of nose described above is called a hump nose because it resembles an eagle’s beak. It can occur congenitally when the nasal bones and cartilage develop excessively, or develop later due to trauma, such as from wearing glasses.

When viewed from the side, the bone and cartilage in the nasal bridge appear raised and uneven. The tip may appear droopy, and the nose is often accompanied by deviation. Therefore, it is important to determine the appropriate correction method through a thorough consultation.

Although rhinoplasty may appear simple, the inside of the nose has a very complex structure, so it is best to establish and follow a customized plan suited to the individual’s face.

Hump noses are often accompanied by functional problems, so it is important to improve both the external appearance and internal function. The surgical method varies depending on the degree of the hump. The protruding area in the middle of the nasal bridge can be removed, and the tip can be raised to harmonize with the bridge, creating a smoother and more three-dimensional appearance.

Let us explain the methods for improving a hump nose in more detail :D

Hump Nose Improvement Is Possible!

A hump nose is often accompanied by functional problems as well as protruding bone.

As the cartilage inside the nose may also become deviated due to the development of the nasal bones, breathing may become difficult. Therefore, both the appearance and function should be improved by a specialist with extensive clinical experience.

In cases of a pronounced hump, the hump is removed and the bone is osteotomized. After fixing the broad nasal bridge bones through osteotomy, septal or ear cartilage is inserted into the tip to create an ideal nose shape that matches the forehead and nasal bridge line.

When the hump is not severe, the protruding bone and cartilage are filed down and removed. If the nasal bridge is low, an implant may be inserted. Septal or ear cartilage is then inserted into the tip to create an ideal nose shape with a harmonious line suited to the face.

Because the protruding area consists of bone and cartilage, it is important to correct it by cutting and reshaping them so that the bone does not grow back. To achieve a satisfactory result, it is important to consult thoroughly with a medical team specializing in rhinoplasty and experienced in a wide range of cases, then proceed with surgery using the method and line that best harmonize with the individual.

If too much of the nasal bridge is shaved down or the tip is raised excessively, the nose may become larger, resulting in lower satisfaction. Therefore, to achieve a positive result, surgery should be performed after a thorough consultation with a rhinoplasty specialist who has extensive experience with various types of surgery and in-depth anatomical knowledge of facial contours.
