Hump Nose, Crooked Nose, Long Nose Rhinoplasty
This case details rhinoplasty for a male in his 20s with a hump nose, crooked septum, and long-looking nose, aiming for a more refined and masculine appearance.
* Basic Information
# Male, 20s
# History of multiple nose fillers and alar reduction (+)
# Uneven nasal bridge line due to a dorsal hump
# Drooping nasal tip and deviated septum
* Consultation
# Patient was stressed by the unevenness of the nasal bridge caused by the dorsal hump.
# We planned to improve the impression of a long and aged-looking nose due to the drooping tip.
* Plan
# Nasal bridge rhinoplasty (hump reduction, silicone implant)
# Nasal tip rhinoplasty (septal cartilage extension graft + ear cartilage: overlapping graft)
* Post-operative Progress
# The dorsal hump was refined, and the nasal bridge was elevated using an implant.
# To improve the drooping and long-looking nasal tip, which made the patient appear older, autologous cartilage was used to create a more defined nasal tip.
# This was a satisfying case where the elevated nose transformed the overall facial line into a more masculine and sophisticated look.

Hump nose rhinoplasty involves refining the bumpy hump on the bridge of the nose and, if necessary, using silicone implants to create a smooth and elevated bridge line. In this case, the hump was refined and the bridge was elevated with an implant.
How can a droopy or long nose be corrected?
A droopy or long-looking nose can be corrected by using autologous cartilage to extend the nasal tip upwards. In this case, septal cartilage and ear cartilage were overlapped and grafted to improve the nasal tip.
What materials can be used for rhinoplasty?
For rhinoplasty, silicone implants can be used for the nasal bridge, and autologous cartilage such as septal cartilage or ear cartilage is mainly used for nasal tip surgery. This patient used silicone implants, septal cartilage, and ear cartilage.
What changes can be expected after rhinoplasty?
After rhinoplasty, the nasal bridge line can be improved and the nasal tip can become more defined, leading to better overall facial balance. In this case, the patient achieved a masculine yet sophisticated look, resulting in high satisfaction.
