(Primary Rhinoplasty Case)

A dorsal hump combined with a drooping nasal tip can create an elongated and unbalanced nasal appearance.

In this case, hump reduction, osteotomy, and rib cartilage tip reconstruction were performed to create a smooth dorsal line and stable nasal tip support through a closed rhinoplasty approach.

This case involves a primary rhinoplasty patient presenting with a prominent dorsal hump and a drooping nasal tip, resulting in an elongated and less refined nasal appearance.

From the lateral view, the dorsal hump created a convex profile, while the drooping nasal tip contributed to an overall longer-looking nose. From the frontal view, the nasal tip appeared bulky with insufficient definition.

The patient did not have functional breathing issues but sought aesthetic improvement with a natural and refined outcome. In this case, structural correction was performed through closed rhinoplasty korea, focusing on hump correction, osteotomy, and structural tip support.

If you are experiencing similar concerns such as a hump nose or a drooping nasal tip, a structural evaluation is important to determine the most appropriate surgical plan.

Surgical Background – Closed Rhinoplasty Korea

Correction of a hump nose combined with a drooping nasal tip requires both dorsal correction and structural tip support.

For this reason, closed rhinoplasty korea was selected to allow precise internal correction of dorsal deformities and stable reconstruction of nasal tip support without external incisions.

Structural Problems Identified

Preoperative evaluation revealed several structural causes:

Prominent dorsal hump
Drooping nasal tip (tip ptosis)
Weak nasal tip support
Bulky and poorly defined nasal tip
Open roof deformity expected after hump removal

These structural problems required coordinated correction of the nasal bridge and tip.

Surgical Plan – Structural Tip Support and Dorsal Correction

Nasal Tip Reconstruction with Rib Cartilage

Because the nasal tip support was weak, structural reinforcement was required.

Procedures performed:

Nasal tip reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage
Reinforcement of tip support
Controlled elevation and refinement of the nasal tip
Adjustment of tip projection and rotation

Dorsal Hump Reduction

The dorsal hump was carefully reduced to create a smooth nasal bridge line.

Procedures performed:

Removal of the dorsal hump
Smoothing of the nasal bridge contour

Lateral Osteotomy

After hump removal, an open roof deformity can occur and must be corrected.

Procedures performed:

Lateral osteotomy to close the open roof deformity
Narrowing of the nasal bridge
Correction of nasal bone alignment

Nasolabial Angle Adjustment

Adjustment of the nasolabial angle improved tip rotation and overall profile balance.

Surgical Results

Frontal View

Narrower and more refined nasal bridge
Improved nasal tip definition
Better overall symmetry

Lateral View

Smooth dorsal line after hump removal
Drooping nasal tip elevated and stabilized
Balanced nasal profile

Surgeon’s Commentary – Coordinated Correction of Hump and Drooping Tip

Hump nose correction requires more than simple reduction of the protruding area. After hump removal, an open roof deformity commonly occurs, which must be addressed through osteotomy to restore proper dorsal width and alignment.

In cases with both a dorsal hump and a drooping nasal tip, establishing strong structural support for the nasal tip is essential before finalizing the dorsal contour.

In this case, autologous rib cartilage was used to reinforce the nasal tip, ensuring stable projection and long-term support. Osteotomy allowed precise repositioning of the nasal bones, while hump reduction and tip refinement were performed in a coordinated manner.

A balanced approach that considers both the nasal bridge and tip is critical to achieving a natural and stable result.

Structural rhinoplasty focuses not only on shape correction but also on long-term structural stability and facial balance.
