Hump Nose Correction Overview

Hello, this is Dr. Cha-Young Kang, Director of Nose Lab Clinic.

Today I’m sharing a Hump Nose Correction case combined with functional nasal surgery for rhinitis. The patient presented with a prominent hump, an elongated nasal structure, severe rhinitis, and nasal obstruction. Our plan focused on Hump Nose Correction while restoring healthy nasal airflow.

1. Hump Nose Correction — History & Symptoms

June 2023: Thread lift on the dorsum and tip
Severe bilateral nasal obstruction
Persistent clear rhinorrhea from rhinitis

Frontal, left side, and oblique view before hump nose correction surgery – patient with long nose, dorsal hump, and wide nasal tip. — Design Consultation: Frontal View, Left Side View, and Oblique Side View Photos

2. Hump Nose Correction — Patient Goals

Correct the hump nose
Reduce overall nasal length
Refine a wide, blunt tip
Smooth the visible cartilage at the tip

Right oblique, side, and nostril view before hump nose correction – showing nasal hump, drooping tip, and columella deviation. — Design Consultation: Right Oblique Side View, Side View, and Nostril View Photos

3. Hump Nose Correction — Preoperative Analysis

Frontal View

Long nose with a wide tip
Protruding/visible tip cartilage
Noticeable asymmetry

Side View

Pronounced dorsal hump
Drooping tip
Overall elongated nasal structure

Nostril View

Severe asymmetry
Leftward deviation of the columella

4. Hump Nose Correction — Surgical Approach

Functional Improvement

Septoplasty for septal deviation
Inferior turbinate reduction via radiofrequency to relieve rhinitis and obstruction

Structural Correction (Aesthetic)

Lateral osteotomy to straighten the bridge
Removal of previously inserted threads
Precise hump reshaping and contour smoothing with a thin silicone implant

Length Reduction & Stability

Septal extension using septal + donor rib cartilage
Intentional mild overcorrection to resist relapse and maintain length reduction

5. Hump Nose Correction — Postoperative Results

Frontal View

Narrower, more defined tip
Balanced symmetry
No visible irregular cartilage

Before (Left) / Immediately After (Right)

Side View

Smooth straight dorsal line after hump reduction
Elevated, natural tip rotation
Softer radix–tip transition

Before and immediately after hump nose correction – 45-degree view showing reduced dorsal hump, smoother nasal bridge, and enhanced nasal tip shape. — Before (Left) / Immediately After (Right)

Nostril View

Straighter columella
Improved nostril symmetry and proportion

Before and immediately after hump nose correction – basal view showing improved nostril symmetry and refined columella contour. — Before (Left) / Immediately After (Right)

6. Hump Nose Correction — Expert Opinion

Successful Hump Nose Correction requires more than removing the hump—it demands framework re-balancing to prevent relapse. In long-nose cases, stability often depends on proper septal extension and judicious overcorrection.

While complete symmetry is limited by baseline anatomy, our priority is a natural, balanced result with restored function.
