Rhinoplasty for Men: Low Bridge & Hump Correction
A case study of a male patient in his 20s who underwent rhinoplasty to correct a low bridge and a bumpy nasal hump, resulting in a more masculine and refined profile.
* Basic Information
- Male in his 20s
- Low nasal bridge
- Bumpy nasal line due to a hump
- The brow bone (glabella) appeared overly prominent, making the profile look uneven
* Consultation
1. The patient was highly stressed by the uneven nasal line caused by the combination of a low bridge and a hump.
2. Because the bridge was quite low, the protrusion of the brow bone was emphasized, making the overall profile look bumpy.
3. We planned to create a masculine line using septal cartilage and ear cartilage.
4. Since the patient had a relatively long philtrum, we paid close attention to the angle of the tip to ensure it was not too short (preventing excessive nostril exposure).
* Surgical Plan
Bridge Rhinoplasty (Hump reduction, silicone implant)
Tip Rhinoplasty (Extension graft using septal cartilage + Onlay graft using ear cartilage)
* Post-Operative Progress
1. With a developed brow bone and a low bridge, the unevenness between the forehead and the bridge of the nose was severely highlighted.
2. By smoothing the hump and raising the bridge, we transformed the line into something much smoother yet sophisticated.
3. As the nose became higher, the overall facial line changed to look more masculine and refined, making this a very satisfying case. ^^
Consultations and surgeries should always be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a low nose bridge and a hooked nose be improved simultaneously?
Yes, they can be improved simultaneously. In this case, the low nose bridge was raised and the hump was refined to smoothly improve the uneven line. Silicone implants and autologous cartilage were used to correct both the bridge and the tip of the nose.
What kind of cartilage is mainly used for male rhinoplasty?
Septal cartilage and ear cartilage are mainly used. In this case, septal cartilage was used for extended grafting of the nasal tip, and ear cartilage was overlapped to create a masculine line.
How does the overall facial impression change after rhinoplasty?
After rhinoplasty, the overall facial impression can become more refined and masculine. In this patient's case, the raised nose bridge improved the unevenness of the forehead bone and nasal dorsum line, resulting in a satisfactory outcome.
Is the angle of the nasal tip also an important consideration in rhinoplasty?
Yes, the angle of the nasal tip is also an important consideration. In this case, since the philtrum was relatively long, the surgery was planned with great attention to the angle to prevent the nasal tip from appearing too short or the nostrils from being excessively visible.
What are the possible side effects after rhinoplasty?
Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery. These side effects may vary depending on the individual, so caution is required.
Where can I get a consultation for rhinoplasty?
You can consult with a plastic surgeon. This post informs that consultation and surgery were performed at VIBE Plastic Surgery Clinic located in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
