Correction of Deviated and Hump Nose & Functional Rhinoplasty
A case study of a female patient in her 20s who underwent no-implant rhinoplasty to correct a hump, a long drooping tip, and a deviated septum.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Uneven nasal bridge due to a hump
# Long, drooping nasal tip
# Breathing discomfort caused by a severely deviated septum
* Consultation
1. The patient’s primary concern was the blunt and long, drooping shape of the nasal tip.
2. She also wanted to improve the uneven side profile caused by the hump.
3. Since the nasal bridge was already high enough, we planned a ‘no-implant’ surgery.
4. Regarding the deviated septum, we decided to improve breathing through functional rhinoplasty.
* Surgical Plan
1. Bridge Rhinoplasty
- Hump correction
- Deviated nose correction
- No-implant technique
2. Tip Rhinoplasty
- Septal extension graft
- Correction of bulbous tip, long tip, and nasolabial angle
* Post-operative Progress
1. The post-operative results show a natural yet well-defined nasal tip.
2. Correcting the long and bulbous tip resulted in a more feminine and sophisticated look, which was very satisfying.
3. If the nasal bridge is sufficiently high, a natural line can be achieved without using implants. The process of creating a smooth line using only autologous cartilage is highly technical, so it is recommended to be performed by an experienced plastic surgery specialist.
4. If the septum is severely deviated, functional rhinoplasty can correct breathing difficulties. Achieve both aesthetic and functional improvements at once!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a plastic surgery specialist!

Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery depending on the individual, and caution is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a hump nose and deviated nose be corrected without implants?
Yes, it is possible. If the bridge of the nose is sufficiently high, a hump nose and deviated nose can be corrected using autologous cartilage without implants to create a natural nose line. This procedure is highly complex, so it is recommended to have it performed by an experienced specialist.
Can breathing difficulties due to a deviated septum be improved with surgery?
Yes, it can be improved. If the septum is severely deviated, functional rhinoplasty can correct breathing difficulties, improving both aesthetic and functional aspects.
How can a blunt and drooping nasal tip be corrected?
It can be corrected through septal extension grafting. Septal extension grafting can be used to improve a blunt and long drooping nasal tip into a sharp and refined shape, and it is also effective for correcting bulbous noses or long noses.
In what cases is implant-free rhinoplasty recommended?
It is recommended when the bridge of the nose is sufficiently high. For patients whose nasal bridge is already sufficiently high, a natural and smooth nose line can be achieved through hump correction or deviated nose correction without using implants.
What changes can be expected after rhinoplasty?
You can expect a natural, sharp, and refined nose line. Long noses or bulbous noses can be corrected, transforming into a more feminine and sophisticated impression, and respiratory function can also be improved when correcting a deviated septum.
