Hello~!

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

We have prepared the 21st Q&A session with Dr. Shim Jung-hwan! ❤

Today's topic is 'Hump nose: Cases that require osteotomy vs. cases that don't?'.

Hump nose: Cases that require osteotomy vs. cases that don't?

Osteotomy may only be necessary if the hump is severe.

A nasal hump consists of a bony part and a cartilaginous part.

The cartilage portion is excised, and the bone portion is either shaved down if it is mild, or requires an osteotomy if it is severe.

Also, if a large amount of the upper bone is shaved down, it creates an open roof deformity. In this case, a lateral osteotomy is required to close the roof. Additionally, because the nasal airway may become narrow and cause breathing discomfort, a spreader graft using cartilage is often performed together

to prevent the airway from narrowing.

Did this resolve your questions about which hump nose cases require osteotomy and which don't?!

We will be back with even more informative content next time 😄

Frequently Asked Questions

Is osteotomy always necessary for a hump nose surgery?

No, osteotomy is only necessary for severe humps. For bony parts where the hump is not severe, correction is possible by simply filing it down. However, if the bone protrudes significantly and is severe, osteotomy must be performed.

How is the cartilage part of a hump nose surgically treated?

Yes, unlike the bone, the cartilage part is surgically treated by cutting it. A hump nose is divided into a part made of nasal bone and a part made of cartilage, and among these, the protruding part of the cartilage is appropriately cut to create a smooth nasal line.

What is the 'open roof phenomenon' after hump nose surgery?

It refers to a state where the roof of the nose is open due to excessive removal of the upper nasal bone. It can occur when too much bone is removed, and in such cases, lateral osteotomy, which involves cutting the outer part of the nasal bone to close the open roof, is absolutely necessary.

Can breathing become uncomfortable after hump nose surgery?

Yes, the nasal airway can narrow during the surgery, leading to uncomfortable breathing. To prevent this, a spreader graft using cartilage can be performed simultaneously during the surgery to ensure that the internal nasal airway does not narrow and allows for smooth breathing.
