Rhinoplasty

Hump nose correction

Who it suits

  • A dorsal hump that makes the profile look severe
  • Want a straight, smooth profile

Technique highlights

  • The hump is reduced and the smoothness re-checked during surgery
  • A thin implant may be laid over to keep the surface even

Surgical steps

  • Analyse proportions from forehead to tip
  • Choose between autologous cartilage and approved implants
  • Operate with minimal tissue trauma to limit swelling
  • Stitches out on day 7 with two follow-up visits

Recovery & aftercare

  • Stitch removal: 7days later
  • Recovery: 5~7days later
  • Surgery time: 90minutes approx.
  • Anaesthesia: sedation
  • Follow-up visits: 2visit(s)

Risks & things to consider

  • Results depend on each person's anatomy and after-care.
  • Every operation carries risks and possible complications; consult a board-certified plastic surgeon first.
  • Surgery time and recovery figures come from Private's official pages and may change after assessment.

Frequently asked questions

Can the hump grow back?

The operation removes the protruding bone and cartilage. If too little is removed a hump remains — early on it can be masked by swelling — so accurate assessment from the start matters.

My bridge is high — can I have only the hump reduced?

Even after the hump is removed the dorsum can look slightly uneven, so laying a thin implant over it is recommended to smooth the line.
