[Diva Plastic Surgery] Hump Nose Correction with Autologous Tissue: Is There a Risk of Side Effects?

The ‘nose’ plays a crucial role in determining our first impression.

A sharp and high nose bridge can make one appear clear and sophisticated to others,

so if you have a hump nose, where the nose shape isn't straight and the middle part of the bridge protrudes,

you can't help but consider rhinoplasty.

However! Many people express reluctance or significant burden regarding solutions involving implant insertion due to various issues that arise after rhinoplasty.

At our clinic, we apply a rhinoplasty method using autologous tissue to prevent problems caused by solutions and effectively resolve nose complex issues.

This method is particularly beneficial for those with thin nasal skin, a low nose bridge that makes their face look flat and lacking dimension,

those with a low and blunt nasal tip, or those with functional nasal problems (such as sinusitis, rhinitis, deviated septum, etc.),

and can lead to better improvement.

Rhinoplasty using autologous tissue, instead of artificial implants, offers excellent compatibility with the body

and, when used as a stable, self-tissue implant,

there is almost no risk of pain, bruising, swelling, or other abnormal issues after the procedure,

allowing you to achieve the beautiful nose line you desire.

Commonly used autologous tissue materials include

temporal fascia, septal cartilage, ear cartilage, rib cartilage, autologous dermal fat, and autologous fat.

The choice is made through precise diagnosis and thorough consultation before proceeding with the solution.

When rhinoplasty is performed using autologous tissue as described,

it can result in a natural-looking nose bridge without an artificial appearance,

and has the advantage of creating a sharp nose line.

Furthermore, the probability of nasal shape deformation or problems occurring afterward is low,

leading to a lower reoperation rate and high patient satisfaction.

Hump Nose Correction with Autologous Tissue: Is There a Risk of Side Effects?

The nose is the first part of the face to attract attention, playing a crucial role in balancing the overall facial features and determining one's first impression. Therefore, rhinoplasty has consistently been popular among those who wish to improve their complexes or upgrade their appearance.

Especially for individuals with a hump nose, where the nose shape is not straight and the middle of the bridge protrudes, making them appear fierce, strong, and even older, rhinoplasty has always been a field of interest. However, even for those with a hump nose desperately needing correction, the reality has been that it's uncomfortable to visit a plastic surgery clinic and decide on surgery, as stories of side effects from rhinoplasty are particularly common.

Dr. Kim Jong-myung, director of Diva Plastic Surgery (board-certified plastic surgeon), stated, ‘By thoroughly understanding the anatomical structure and focusing on minimizing implant-related side effects, it is possible to achieve safer and more satisfactory rhinoplasty results, thereby alleviating the burden of revision surgery.’

The reason many cases are dissatisfied with rhinoplasty results is that rhinoplasty is not a partial surgery. To achieve the best effect, the entire facial line, from the forehead to the nasal tip, lips, and chin, must be considered. Therefore, for rhinoplasty, especially hump nose correction where pre- and post-operative effects are clearly visible, personalized design and customized procedures are more important than any other plastic surgery.

Another point to be aware of is regarding implants. Implants are usually essential in rhinoplasty, but various reasons, such as using an implant that doesn't suit one's body, an incompatibility between the surgical method and the implant, or inadequate post-operative care, can lead to numerous side effects.

Recently, autologous tissue rhinoplasty, which offers more freedom from implant-related side effects, has gained significant popularity. When using autologous body tissue as an implant instead of artificial implants, due to its excellent compatibility with the body and stable integration, it can more effectively correct a hump nose without significant side effects such as post-operative pain, bruising, or swelling, compared to artificial implants.

Dr. Kim Jong-myung advised, ‘Even when performing nose surgery using autologous implants instead of artificial ones, side effects can occur if 'excessive' procedures are performed. Therefore, it is safe to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has a complete understanding of the anatomical structure and extensive clinical experience, capable of performing rhinoplasty by identifying each individual's facial features and skin tissue characteristics, before proceeding with surgery.’

He added, ‘The nose is an organ where aesthetic purposes are important, but functional aspects must also be considered. Therefore, both external improvement and improvement of breathing function should not be neglected.’
