Hello, this is Dr. Hyungtaek Kim from Kowon Plastic Surgery Clinic.

Today, I’d like to introduce a case involving a humped nose with a bulbous tip.

In most cases, patients with a humped nose tend to have a longer nose with a drooping tip.

However, this particular patient had a unique case of a humped nose combined with a short, rounded, and bulbous nasal tip.

The nasal tip was significantly wide, so I utilized cartilage suturing and added a cartilage graft to support and elevate the tip for improved height.

Additionally, the area between the nostrils (columella) was recessed, disrupting the overall nasal balance.

To correct this, I adjusted it to create a more harmonious and balanced appearance.

The lower part of the columella (the base of the nasal column) was recessed, which made the philtrum appear longer and the mouth look more pronounced.

To address this, I repositioned the columella outward and performed J-curve philtrum line correction.
