Natural Hump & Bulbous Nose Rhinoplasty
A case study of a 20-year-old female patient who achieved a more youthful and refined look through hump reduction and bulbous nose correction.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Drooping nose tip and unevenness caused by a dorsal hump
* Consultation
# The patient’s biggest stress was that her drooping nose tip made her look older than her actual age.
# We planned to create an ideal nasolabial angle for the nose tip along with bulbous nose correction.
# We also decided to resolve the unevenness of the bridge caused by the dorsal hump.
* Surgical Plan
# Bridge Rhinoplasty
- Hump correction
- Silicone implant
# Tip Rhinoplasty
- Septal extension graft
- Nasolabial angle correction
- Bulbous nose correction
* Post-operative Progress
1. In the post-operative results, a natural yet sharp nose tip was achieved without excessive nostril exposure, exactly as the patient requested.
2. By using the septum to support the columella, the nasolabial angle was improved, making the line connecting the nose to the philtrum look more sophisticated and beautiful.
3. The wide bridge became narrower and more defined, drawing attention to the center of the face. This added dimension to a previously flat-looking face, creating an effect where the face appears smaller, which the patient was very satisfied with.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a hooked nose and a bulbous nose be corrected simultaneously?
Yes, it is possible. In this case, the hooked nose on the bridge and the bulbous tip were corrected simultaneously to improve the overall nose line.
What is septal extension graft in tip plasty?
Septal extension graft is a method that uses the septal cartilage inside the nose to extend the length and adjust the height of the nasal tip. This can create an ideal nasolabial angle and make the tip of the nose more prominent.
I'm worried that my nostrils will show too much after rhinoplasty.
In this case, a natural yet prominent nasal tip was achieved after the surgery, with the nostrils not showing excessively. You can plan your desired nose shape through sufficient consultation with the medical staff.
Can rhinoplasty also make my face look smaller?
Yes, it is possible. As the wide nasal bridge becomes narrower and higher, attention is focused on the center of the face, creating a立体 effect on the face, and as a result, you can achieve the effect of a smaller-looking face.
Is a silicone implant used for rhinoplasty?
Yes, in this case, a silicone implant was used along with the correction of the hooked nose during bridge rhinoplasty to heighten the bridge and create a smooth line. The use of an implant is decided after consultation with a specialist.
