Hump Nose Correction: Preserving Structure, Enhancing Beauty

 

628. <Hump Nose Correction: Preserving Structure, Enhancing Beauty>

Hump nose correction (dorsal hump rhinoplasty) refines the nasal profile by addressing an overprojected bony-cartilaginous hump. While traditional structural rhinoplasty involves osteotomy and implant use, it may disrupt the nose’s natural contour and raise risks of infection—especially when synthetic materials are involved.

To reduce such complications, we often prefer autologous tissue like diced costal cartilage to reconstruct and elevate the nasal dorsum safely and naturally. In recent years, preservation rhinoplasty has emerged as an elegant solution. Rather than removing the hump, we reposition the entire nasal bridge using let-down or push-down techniques, preserving the native anatomy and minimizing trauma.

This approach is rooted not only in surgical advancement but also in evolutionary insight—the dorsal hump evolved to condition cold air. Altering it requires thoughtful consideration of both airflow and aesthetics.

Hump nose is often accompanied by other issues like nasal deviation or a droopy tip. A comprehensive facial analysis, including septal deviation, facial asymmetry, and even bite alignment, is essential. In some cases, orthognathic surgery may also play a role.

Cosmetic correction is optional—but when desired, selecting between structural and preservation techniques should be based on anatomy, healing profile, and personal goals.

“Hump nose correction is the restoration of balance—not just the removal of a feature.”
