Can I be beautiful without implants? ‘Definitely’ VIBE! - Chief Director Young-moon Yoo
Discover how a 30-year-old patient achieved a refined, shorter-looking midface and corrected a dorsal hump using a no-implant rhinoplasty technique at VIBE Plastic Surgery.

* Basic Information
# Female in her 30s
# The midface appears long due to a dorsal hump and a drooping nose tip
# Tried fillers to hide the hump, but hated that it made the nose look even longer~
* Consultation
1. She wanted to improve the bumpy side profile caused by the dorsal hump and the appearance of a long, drooping nose tip. A dorsal hump can give a strong and stubborn impression, which was a source of stress~
2. Based on the assessment that the hump and long nose could be corrected without using implants, a no-implant rhinoplasty was planned.
3. In cases where the midface is long and the bridge itself is not low, no-implant rhinoplasty can be an excellent solution.
* Plan
1. Bridge Rhinoplasty
- Dorsal hump correction
- No-implant
- Osteotomy
- Deviated nose correction
2. Tip Rhinoplasty
- Bulbous nose and long nose correction
- Nasolabial angle (columella) correction






* Post-Operative Progress
1. The post-operative results show a natural yet sharp and defined nose tip.
2. With the dorsal hump corrected, a feminine and sophisticated nose line was achieved, leading to high satisfaction.
3. When the midface is long and the bridge is already high, ‘not using implants’ can lead to a more satisfying nose line and better facial balance. ^^
