Hello~

​

💚your beauty universe! This is Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💚

A hump nose, shaped like a hawk's beak, occurs when the center of the nasal bone or cartilage overgrows,

causing a bony protrusion in the middle of the nose bridge.

​

Because a hump nose can make it difficult to project a soft and refined image,

many people choose to undergo surgery due to discomfort and feeling self-conscious about it.

​

Among them, some patients express concerns that their dorsal hump

seems to be growing back even after being shaved down.

​

Today, "Does a dorsal hump grow back after being shaved down?"

We will be doing a Q&A on this topic.

​

Does a dorsal hump grow back after being shaved down?

A small amount of scar tissue can grow over the area where the hump was shaved.

In cases of implant-free rhinoplasty, shaving down the hump completely can make the nose bridge too low.

Therefore, sometimes it is not completely shaved down on purpose, and the areas above and below it are filled with cartilage or dermis instead.

In such cases, as the cartilage or dermis gets absorbed and sinks,

it can make the hump appear as if it is protruding again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of nose is a hooked nose?

A hooked nose refers to a nose where the central part of the nasal bone or cartilage has overgrown excessively, causing the bone to protrude in the middle of the bridge, resembling a hawk's beak. It often makes it difficult to give a soft impression, which is a major reason why many people feel self-conscious and consider rhinoplasty.

Can the bone regrow even after shaving down a hooked nose?

Yes, scar tissue can slightly overgrow in the shaved area, making it appear as if it has protruded again. Rather than the bone itself regrowing to its original state, it's a phenomenon where scar tissue forms due to tissue reaction at the surgical site, making it feel like the hooked nose has recurred.

Why does a hooked nose appear prominent again after non-implant rhinoplasty?

This is because the cartilage or dermis grafted during the surgery is absorbed and sinks. In some cases, to prevent the bridge of the nose from becoming too low, the hooked nose is not entirely shaved down, and the areas above and below it are filled with cartilage or other materials. If these materials are absorbed, the remaining hooked nose can appear to protrude again.

Are there cases where the hooked nose is not completely shaved down?

Yes, when performing non-implant surgery, there are cases where it is intentionally not completely shaved down to prevent the bridge of the nose from becoming excessively low. Instead, the surgery may proceed by filling the empty spaces above and below the protruding bone with autologous cartilage or dermis to create a smooth nasal bridge line.
