Hump Nose Surgery: Prioritizing Aesthetics or Function?

[Column] Dr. Kim Jong-myung, Director of Diva Plastic Surgery

Many people experiencing aesthetic dissatisfaction seek positive changes through plastic surgery. This desire is particularly strong when it comes to facial complexes.

Among these, the nose, being at the center of the face, is often a target for change. Hump nose surgery is one method to transform a bumpy nasal bridge into a natural and smooth one. A hump nose, with its uneven shape and a prominent bump in the middle of the bridge, can create a fierce and strong impression, and in severe cases, make one look older than their actual age, leading many to seek improvement.

Hump nose correction requires an approach that considers not only the visible aesthetic issues but also functional improvements. If the hump is excessively trimmed or if osteotomy, selectively performed for wide nasal bridges, is applied excessively, existing internal nasal conditions may not only fail to improve but could worsen. It could also lead to new nasal issues such as nasal congestion, rhinitis, breathing discomfort, sinusitis, or deviated septum, which were not present before.

Therefore, it is crucial to perform the surgery with careful consideration for both the external aesthetic aspect and potential functional problems. To achieve this, the surgery must be tailored to each individual, taking into account their unique facial structure and skin tissue characteristics. It is also important to have thorough consultations with medical staff and apply appropriate implants and surgical methods based on ergonomic analysis.
