No-Implant Rhinoplasty (Hump Nose, Long Nose)
A case study of a 20s female patient who achieved a refined, natural nose profile through no-implant rhinoplasty, correcting a severe hump and drooping tip.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Drooping and blunt nasal tip
# Unevenness caused by a severe hump
# Deviated bridge appearance
* Consultation
1. The patient wanted to improve the uneven side profile caused by the hump and the appearance of a drooping nasal tip. A large hump like this can create a ‘strong’ and ‘stubborn’ impression, which was a major source of stress for her.
2. We planned a no-implant rhinoplasty based on the assessment that the deviated bridge and hump could be corrected without the use of artificial implants.
* Surgical Plan
1. Bridge Rhinoplasty
- Hump correction
- Osteotomy
- No-implant
2. Tip Rhinoplasty
- Septal cartilage: Septal extension graft
- Correction of bulbous tip, long nose, and deviated nose
* Post-operative Progress
1. The post-operative results show a natural yet well-defined nasal tip.
2. By correcting the severe hump, a feminine and sophisticated nose was achieved, leading to high patient satisfaction.
3. If the nasal bridge is already sufficiently high, a natural nose line can be created without using any implants.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to correct a hooked nose with non-implant rhinoplasty?
Yes, it is possible. According to the post, even severe hooked noses can be corrected without implants through osteotomy of the nasal bridge, which can improve a strong and stubborn impression.
Is non-implant surgery possible for a blunt or droopy nasal tip?
Yes, it is possible. During nasal tip plasty, a blunt and droopy nasal tip can be made sharper using septal extension graft with septal cartilage, and it is also used for correcting bulbous or long noses.
In what cases is non-implant rhinoplasty suitable?
It is suitable when the nasal bridge is sufficiently high, as it can create a natural nose line without using implants. It can be considered for improving a hooked nose, blunt nasal tip, or crooked nasal bridge.
How does the nose line change after non-implant rhinoplasty?
After the surgery, a natural yet sharp nasal tip is achieved, and it is mentioned that correcting a severe hooked nose can result in a feminine and sophisticated nose line.
What materials are used for non-implant rhinoplasty?
For nasal bridge plasty, a hooked nose is corrected through osteotomy without implants, and for nasal tip plasty, autologous septal cartilage is used for septal extension grafting.
