What is Hump Reduction Rhinoplasty?

Hump reduction rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to refine the nasal profile by addressing a prominent bump on the bridge of the nose. This procedure can be performed on various nose shapes and sizes, and it is often combined with other rhinoplasty techniques to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing result.

Why Consider Hump Reduction Rhinoplasty?

You may be a good candidate for hump reduction rhinoplasty if you are:

• Individuals with a prominent bump on the bridge of the nose which can create a harsh or aged appearance.
• Those with a drooping or downturned nose tip.
• Individuals with a decreased nasolabial angle, resulting in a downturned appearance of the nose tip.
• Patients who appear older than their actual age due to an excessively long or prominent nose tip.

JW Hospital uses a unique operation technique to make the nose tip smooth and natural-looking.

JW Korea Plastic Hospital’s Hump Reduction Rhinoplasty

1. Addressing the Nasal Hump

A nasal hump is a bony or cartilaginous prominence on the bridge of the nose. To correct this, our experienced surgeons carefully remove excess bone and cartilage from the hump. Precision is crucial to avoid over-removal, which can lead to an unnatural appearance.

2. Managing the Open Roof

Removing the hump may sometimes leave an open roof on the nose, especially if the nasal bones are thin. Depending on the severity, we may employ different techniques:

The Open Roof of the Nose

2.1 Nasal Bridge Augmentation: Using implants like silicone or Gore-Tex to fill the open roof.

2.2 Nasal Osteotomy: Surgically narrowing the nasal bones to reduce the open roof’s visibility.

2.3 Cartilage Grafting: Using autologous cartilage (typically from the nasal septum) to fill the open roof.

3. Correcting a Droopy Tip

A droopy nose tip can be corrected by repositioning the alar cartilages. To prevent future drooping, a cartilage graft or muscle tightening may be necessary.

4. Addressing a Low Nose Tip

A low nose tip can be improved by adding cartilage grafts to the nasal tip, enhancing the angle between the nose and the upper lip.

The Hump Reduction Rhinoplasty Procedure

The procedure typically involves the following steps:

1. Anesthesia: You will be administered local anesthesia or general anesthesia, depending on your preference and the complexity of the procedure.
2. Incisions: Incisions are made within the nostrils to minimize visible scarring.
3. Bone and Cartilage Removal: The surgeon carefully removes excess bone and cartilage from the nasal hump using specialized tools.
4. Reshaping: The remaining bone and cartilage are reshaped to create a smoother and more streamlined nasal profile.
5. Closure: The incisions are closed with sutures.

Recovery and Results

After the procedure, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with medication. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. The results of hump reduction rhinoplasty are typically visible within several months as the swelling subsides.
