Hello, this is Hyung-taek Kim, Director of KOWON Plastic Surgery.
A previous patient had a mid-nasal bridge that was bumpy and protruding, and with a bulbous and large nasal tip, the overall impression appeared somewhat dull and stuffy.
Moreover, since the slope connecting the nasolabial angle to the philtrum was not cleanly defined, the mouth area appeared slightly protruded, creating a somewhat sullen look.
In such cases, rather than simply increasing the height or reducing the size in a one-dimensional way, it is much more effective to delicately refine the overall flow from the nasal bridge.
"The dorsal hump bone was smoothed out,
and with cartilage repositioning and support, a stable line from the nasal bridge to the nasal tip was achieved."
These before-and-after photos are used with the patient's consent.
First, the protruding bone was neatly refined to create a smooth nasal bridge line, and the previously stuffy-looking nasal tip was meticulously refined through dorsal hump nasal tip surgery, combining cartilage repositioning, cartilage suturing, and soft tissue removal. Additionally, since a firm cartilage support was established, the refined shape can be maintained stably for a long period without shifting.
At the same time, the previously stuffy-looking columella, nasolabial angle, and philtrum line proportions were also refined, and as a result, the previously protruding mouth area naturally receded, resulting in a much softer and more sophisticated impression.
"By carefully adjusting the nasolabial angle and philtrum proportions,
the previously protruding mouth area was corrected, resulting in a much more refined appearance."
As a result, the line from the nasal bridge down to the philtrum became much softer, and the dorsal hump nasal tip surgery was successfully completed, creating a feminine and sophisticated look without being overly conspicuous.

What was the case?
This was a case where the nasal bridge was protruding due to a dorsal hump, the nose was long, and the nasal tip drooped downward, giving an overall gloomy and masculine impression. Additionally, the patient experienced breathing discomfort due to rhinitis symptoms.
These before-and-after photos are used with the patient's consent.
What process was followed?
Since the original nose was high, osteotomy was performed to lower and narrow the wide, protruding nasal bridge, making it smooth. The drooping nasal tip was lifted to create a sophisticated angle, and at the same time, surgery for rhinitis was performed to improve the internal functional structure.
These before-and-after photos are used with the patient's consent.
How did it change?
The previously long and strong impression disappeared, and a much smaller, more feminine, and youthful nasal line was achieved. This case resulted in not only cosmetic satisfaction but also functional improvement, making breathing much easier.
[Key Points]
Dorsal hump surgery is not simply a one-dimensional procedure of shaving off the protruding bone or just increasing the height. To achieve natural results, a delicate dorsal hump nasal tip surgery must be performed, refining the overall angle and flow from the nasal bridge to the nasal tip, philtrum, and mouth area.
"By creating a three-dimensional line connecting the nasal bridge, nasal tip, and philtrum,
we create a natural and sophisticated impression."
At KOWON Plastic Surgery, we do not apply a one-size-fits-all design. Based on years of accumulated surgical experience and know-how, we meticulously refine the nasal bridge line and precisely perform cartilage repositioning and support fixation to create a stable and natural line that lasts for a long time without deformation.
