Improving a Bumpy, Conspicuous Aquiline Nose

<Actual DM Plastic Surgery rhinoplasty patient>

Because the nose is located 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 facial balance and harmony in mind, natural-looking results are possible. Therefore, it is best to receive surgery from a specialist with accurate diagnostic skills and extensive clinical experience in order to achieve a highly satisfactory result!

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

A straight nasal bridge with a defined, elevated tip is generally considered an ideal nose shape, but some noses have a protruding bridge that creates a sharp impression.

The type of nose described above is called an aquiline nose because it resembles an eagle's beak.

It may occur congenitally when the nasal bones and cartilage are excessively developed, or it may develop later when the nose becomes deformed due to trauma, such as from wearing glasses.

When viewed from the side, the bone and cartilage in the bridge may appear raised and uneven, and the tip may look drooped. In many cases, a crooked nose is also present. Therefore, it is important to determine the appropriate correction method through a thorough consultation and apply it accordingly.

Although nose surgery may appear simple, the inside of the nose consists of a very complex structure. It is best to establish and follow a customized plan suited to the individual's face.

Aquiline 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 dorsal hump. The protruding area in the middle of the nasal bridge can be removed, and the tip can be elevated to harmonize with the bridge, creating a smoother and more three-dimensional appearance.

We will explain the methods for improving an aquiline nose in more detail :D

Aquiline Nose: Improvement Is Possible!

An aquiline nose is often accompanied not only by protruding bone but also by functional problems.

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

In more severe cases, the hump is removed and the bone is osteotomized.

After fixing the broad nasal bones through osteotomy, septal or ear cartilage may be 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 may also be inserted into the tip to create a harmonious line suited to the face and improve the nose toward an ideal shape.

Because the protruding area consists of nasal bone and cartilage, it is important to cut and correct these structures 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 the line and method that best suit the individual.

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