Nose Types and Rhinoplasty

The nose, located at the center of the face,
greatly affects one’s impression even with subtle changes,
so surgical methods should be tailored to each individual’s facial structure and nose type.

At 345 Plastic Surgery, we specialize in creating well-balanced,
three-dimensional, and aesthetically pleasing noses by studying the ideal height and shape in harmony with the face.

Hump Nose Rhinoplasty

When excessive growth of nasal bone and septal cartilage causes a low nasal root and a drooping tip, hump correction surgery is necessary. Depending on the cause, the central part of the nasal bridge is osteotomized to remove the hump, and the nasal tip is refined to create a natural appearance.

Nose Plastic Surgery Process

Hump Nose Rhinoplasty Process
at 345 Plastic Surgery

At 345 Plastic Surgery, hump nose correction is personalized
to achieve smooth and slim results with high patient satisfaction.

Case

01

Mild Hump

If the nasal bridge is slightly protruding, the hump is shaved down for correction. If needed, a customized implant is used to reconstruct the nasal bridge, enhancing facial harmony.

Case

02

Severe Hump

In cases with a prominent hump and drooping tip, bone and cartilage are removed, considering the degree of deformity and nasal tip condition. The lateral nasal bones are osteotomized and repositioned inward, and an autologous cartilage graft is used as a support to prevent tip drooping and achieve a smooth nasal line.

How, Why,

Frequently Asked Questions
About Rhinoplasty

Contracture is often caused by inflammation from implants like silicone or Gore-Tex. In revision surgery, it is recommended to avoid reusing implants. If contracture is implant-related, the standard is to remove the implant and perform the surgery without it.

Whether or not to use an implant is a matter of choice. However, there may be limitations to how much the nasal bridge can be raised without an implant, which will be explained during consultation. If the nasal bridge is of average height, enhancing the nasal tip can make the nose stand out, making implant-free rhinoplasty a viable option.

Since the implant is supported by the underlying bone, collapse of the nasal bridge is rare. However, if the nasal tip is lower than the bridge, it may appear as tip drooping. If the patient is prone to tip drooping, adjusting the bridge height or using supportive materials can minimize the risk. However, due to the constant pull of gravity, tip drooping may occur over 10 to 20 years as ligaments and surrounding tissues loosen with aging. Even without surgery, the nose naturally droops over time due to aging.
