General/Sedative Anesthesia
Hooked nose (aquiline nose) refer to a nose which has bone/cartilage protrusion
on the middle of the bridge, creating an unaesthetic hump. Such attributes can give off
a strong, masculine and harsh appearance and therefore, hump removal is necessary for
straight and smooth nasal slope, improving the overall facial balance and harmony.

The surgery methods for hooked nasal bridge that involves resection of the bone, and septum as a single unit.
WONJIN provides customized surgical resolutions which address such issues according to the conditions.
In case of a minor hump, simply shaving the hooked area can improve
the nasal slope. This method is very simple as it takes about 30~40 minutes
and is suitable for those who do not need dorsal augmentation.
However, thorough diagnosis is required and the right surgery method
must be performed in order to prevent the recurrence of hump growth.
Large nasal hump is removed through nasal bone osteotomy and
the cartilage is gathered to slightly elevate the tip for a natural shape
of the bridge. In case the patient already has low nasal bridge then
osteotomy can lower the bridge even more. For such case, bridge augmentation
using silicone implant may be necessary.
Regardless of the hump size, the nasal bridge can be elevated
with silicone implant after hump removal.
