Bulbous Nose and Hump Nose Rhinoplasty
A case study of a 20s female patient who underwent hump correction and bulbous nose reduction to achieve a refined, straight-semi-curved profile.
* Basic Information
- Female in her 20s
- Unevenness caused by a nasal hump
- Blunt, bulbous nose tip
* Consultation
1. The patient wanted to improve the uneven bridge line caused by the hump and the blunt appearance of her bulbous nose.
2. We planned to create a sharp ‘straight-semi-curved’ line using autologous cartilage. For the bridge, we decided to smooth the hump and increase height using a silicone implant.
* Surgical Plan
1. Rhinoplasty (Bridge)
- Hump correction
- Silicone implant
- Osteotomy
2. Tip-plasty (Nose Tip)
- Septal extension graft
- Bulbous nose correction
* Post-operative Progress
1. After smoothing the hump, an implant was used to create a natural yet glamorous ‘straight-semi-curved’ line.
2. Through osteotomy and bulbous nose correction, an overall slim and refined look was achieved.
3. Now that the lines are streamlined, a much more natural and clean nasal profile has been created.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is hump nose surgery performed?
Yes, hump nose surgery involves refining the hump on the bridge of the nose, adjusting the height using silicone implants, and, if necessary, improving the line through osteotomy. This can smooth out an uneven nasal bridge line.
How is bulbous nose correction performed?
Yes, bulbous nose correction is performed by making the nasal tip sharper through septal extension grafting and correcting the bulbous nose itself to create an overall slender appearance. This can improve a blunt nasal tip.
What materials are used in rhinoplasty?
Yes, for rhinoplasty, silicone implants are mainly used for the bridge of the nose, and septal extension grafting using autologous cartilage may be planned for nasal tip surgery. This can vary depending on the individual's nasal condition and goals.
What kind of nose line can I expect after rhinoplasty?
Yes, after rhinoplasty, you can expect a natural yet glamorous semi-upward line. Through the harmony of the nasal bridge and tip, you can achieve an overall slender and neatly defined nose line.
What side effects can occur after rhinoplasty?
Yes, various complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry can occur after rhinoplasty. These side effects can vary from person to person, so sufficient consultation and caution are required before surgery.
