Hump Nose Rhinoplasty
Correcting an uneven nasal bridge caused by a hump and residual filler lumps using autologous cartilage and silicone implants.
* Patient Information
- Female in her 20s
- Uneven nasal bridge due to a hump
- Residual filler from multiple previous procedures forming lumps
* Consultation
- Although filler-dissolving injections were administered a week before surgery, lumps are still palpable. Residual filler that has become calcified must be removed under direct vision during surgery.
- The uneven bridge line caused by the hump is a major source of stress.
- The plan is to refine the nasal tip using autologous cartilage, while smoothing the hump and using a silicone implant for the bridge.
* Surgical Plan
1. Rhinoplasty (Bridge)
- Removal of residual filler
- Hump correction
- Silicone implant
2. Tip-plasty
- Septal cartilage: Septal extension graft
- Ear cartilage: Onlay graft
* Post-operative Progress
- Filler lumps were found to have formed capsules under the skin. They were cleanly removed under direct vision.
- After smoothing the hump, a natural line was created using an implant.
- With the bridge line refined, the resulting nose profile looks much more natural and clean.
Always consult a board-certified plastic surgeon for consultations and surgery!
Wishing you health and beauty :)

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 filler residue also be removed during aquiline nose surgery?
Yes, it is possible. Even if filler dissolving injections were administered before surgery, any remaining lumpy filler residue can be cleanly removed by direct visualization during the surgery.
What type of implant is used for the nasal bridge during aquiline nose surgery?
Silicone implants can be used for the nasal bridge during aquiline nose surgery. After refining the aquiline hump, a natural nasal bridge line can be created using a silicone implant.
What types of cartilage are used for tip plasty?
Septal cartilage and ear cartilage can be used for tip plasty. Septal cartilage is utilized for septal extension grafts, and ear cartilage is used for overlapping grafts to create the shape of the nasal tip.
Can a natural line be created after aquiline nose surgery?
Yes, it is possible. By refining the aquiline hump and using implants to sculpt the nasal bridge line, and delicately designing the nasal tip with autologous cartilage, a natural and clean nose line can be achieved.
What complications can occur after aquiline nose surgery?
Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery. These may vary depending on the individual, so sufficient consultation and caution are required before surgery.
