  METHOD 01

  Minor Hump

  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.

  • Incision is made inside the nostrils
  • Nasal hump is shaved

  METHOD 02

  Large Hump

  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.

  • The protruding area is fractured
  • Cartilages on the nasal tip are gathered together and raised
  • Autologous cartilage such as ear/septum cartilage is grafted to serve
    as a support which prevents the nasal tip from drooping

  METHOD 03

  Nasal bridge augmentation
  after hump removal

  Regardless of the hump size, the nasal bridge can be elevated
  with silicone implant after hump removal.

  • The protruding area is fractured
  • Cartilages on the nasal tip are gathered together and raised
  • Autologous cartilage such as ear/septum cartilage is grafted to serve
    as a support which prevents the nasal tip from drooping
  • Nasal bridge is elevated through implant insertion.
