VIBE Plastic Surgery: Non-Implant Rhinoplasty
This case study details a non-implant rhinoplasty for a woman in her 20s with a drooping, bulbous tip and a prominent dorsal hump. The procedure corrected her uneven profile and created a refined, natural-looking nose.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Drooping and bulbous nasal tip
# Unevenness due to severe dorsal hump
* Consultation
1. The patient wished to improve her uneven side profile caused by the dorsal hump and her drooping nasal tip. A large dorsal hump can create a strong, stubborn impression, which was a significant source of stress for her.
2. Based on the assessment that a deviated nose and dorsal hump could be corrected without implants, a non-implant rhinoplasty was planned.
* Plan
1. Nasal Bridge Augmentation
- Dorsal hump correction
- Non-implant approach
2. Nasal Tip Augmentation
- Septal cartilage: Septal extension graft
- Correction of bulbous and long nose
* Post-operative Progress
1. The post-operative result achieved a natural yet refined nasal tip.
2. The correction of the severe dorsal hump resulted in a feminine and sophisticated nose, which was very satisfying.
3. If the nasal bridge is sufficiently high, a natural nose line can be created without the use of implants.

Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases is non-implant rhinoplasty suitable?
Non-implant rhinoplasty is suitable when the bridge of the nose is sufficiently high. In this case, a natural nose line can be created without using implants, and aquiline nose correction or tip plasty is possible.
Is it possible to correct an aquiline nose with non-implant rhinoplasty?
Yes, it is possible. In this case, severe aquiline nose was corrected without using implants, improving the bumpy profile and creating a feminine and sophisticated nose.
What materials are used for non-implant tip plasty?
Septal cartilage is mainly used. Septal extension graft using septal cartilage is used to make a droopy and blunt nose tip sharp, and it is also used for bulbous nose or long nose correction.
What changes can be expected after non-implant rhinoplasty?
You can expect a natural yet sharp nose tip and a sophisticated nose line. Severe aquiline nose can be corrected, improving a strong and stubborn impression to a feminine and soft impression.
Can there be side effects with non-implant rhinoplasty?
Yes, like all surgeries, complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry can occur after non-implant rhinoplasty. Individual differences may exist, so caution is required.
