Functional Rhinoplasty with Hump and Deviated Nose Correction!
A case study of a female patient in her 30s who underwent functional rhinoplasty to correct a dorsal hump, a deviated septum, and a blunt nasal tip.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 30s
# Uneven nasal bridge due to a dorsal hump
# Difficulty breathing caused by a severely deviated septum
* Consultation
1. The patient’s primary concern was the blunt and low shape of the nasal tip.
2. She also wanted to improve the uneven side profile caused by the dorsal hump.
3. Regarding the deviated septum, we decided to perform functional rhinoplasty to improve nasal function.
* Surgical Plan
1. Rhinoplasty (Bridge)
- Dorsal hump correction
2. Tip-plasty
- Correction of deviated nose and nasolabial angle
3. Functional Rhinoplasty
* Post-operative Progress
1. The post-operative results show a natural yet well-defined nasal tip.
2. With the hump corrected, the smooth nasal bridge gives a more feminine and sophisticated appearance.
3. In cases of severe septal deviation, functional rhinoplasty can effectively address breathing difficulties. Achieve both aesthetic and functional improvements at once!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can functional rhinoplasty correct a hooked nose and a deviated nose simultaneously?
Yes, it is possible. In this case, dorsal hump correction for a hooked nose and tip plasty for a deviated nose and nasolabial angle correction were performed simultaneously with functional rhinoplasty, achieving both aesthetic and functional improvements.
What discomfort does a deviated septum cause?
If the deviated septum is severe, you may experience difficulty breathing. The patient in this case also had difficulty breathing due to a severely deviated septum, which was improved through functional rhinoplasty.
How does the nose shape change after functional rhinoplasty?
Functional rhinoplasty improves respiratory function through septal correction, and when combined with aesthetic rhinoplasty, it can create a natural yet prominent nasal tip and a smooth nasal bridge. In this case, the dorsal hump was corrected, giving a sophisticated impression.
What tests are performed before surgery to confirm a deviated septum?
Before surgery, CT scans and nasopharyngeal endoscopy can confirm the degree of septal deviation and the presence of inferior turbinate hypertrophy. In this case, severe septal deviation was diagnosed with CT and endoscopy.
In what cases can functional rhinoplasty be considered?
It can be considered when there are functional problems such as difficulty breathing, and at the same time, aesthetic improvements are desired, such as for a hooked nose, deviated nose, or low nasal tip. The text explains that both functional and aesthetic aspects can be addressed.
