Correction of Deviated and Hump Nose
A case study of a male patient in his 30s who underwent correction for a deviated nose and dorsal hump to achieve a straighter, more masculine profile.
* Basic Information
- Male in his 30s
- Dorsal hump and deviated nose
* Consultation
1. The patient’s primary stressors were a blunt impression caused by the dorsal hump and a visibly crooked nose.
2. The plan was to raise the nasal bridge while creating a straighter, more masculine nasal line that extends smoothly.
* Surgical Plan
1. Rhinoplasty (Bridge)
- Hump reduction
- Deviated nose correction (Osteotomy followed by spreader graft)
2. Tip Plasty
- Septal extension graft
- Onlay graft
* Post-operative Progress
1. Deviated nose surgery is a high-difficulty procedure, but it typically yields high patient satisfaction. This is because it resolves the crooked line seen from the front and establishes a straight central axis.
2. While it varies depending on the degree of deviation, cases with severe deviation like this one require medial and lateral osteotomy. Through these osteotomies, the crooked sections are corrected, and a spreader graft is used in between to refine the line into a straight shape.
3. By smoothing the hump and creating a masculine, straight line, the overall impression appears much cleaner and more refined.
4. By narrowing the wide bridge through osteotomy and increasing its height, the focus of the face is drawn to the center. This adds three-dimensional depth to a previously flat-looking face, creating an effect where the face appears smaller, which the patient found very satisfying.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
How are crooked noses and hump noses corrected?
Crooked noses are straightened through medial and lateral osteotomy and spreader grafts, while humps are trimmed to create a masculine straight line. The nasal tip can be refined with septal extension and onlay grafts.
Is crooked nose correction surgery difficult?
Yes, crooked nose surgery is considered to be of high difficulty, but it is a highly satisfying surgery as it resolves the crooked line visible from the front after the operation. In cases of severe crookedness, osteotomy may be necessary.
How does nose surgery change one's facial impression?
After nose surgery, when the hump is trimmed and the bridge of the nose is straightened, the overall impression becomes neat and refined. Additionally, narrowing and raising a wide nasal bridge can create a more立体 look on the face, making it appear smaller.
What are the possible side effects of nose surgery?
Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery, and these can vary from person to person, so caution is required.
Who should I consult for nose surgery?
It is best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for nose surgery consultation and procedure. It is important to establish a surgical plan that suits you through thorough consultation with a specialist.
