Daejeon Nose Surgery Hump Nose Line Before and After Comparison
Hello, this is Face Plastic Surgery Clinic in Daejeon.
Today, we would like to introduce a real case of Daejeon nose surgery performed on a male patient in his 20s who had concerns about his nose line. Through this case, we will explain the surgical approach and the changes he experienced after the procedure.
This patient had long been self-conscious about the appearance of his nose. From the front, the alar base looked wide and spread out, and from the side, the hump on the nasal bridge created a strong impression that he found unbalanced with his overall facial features
Though some acquaintances described his nose as masculine, he personally felt it did not suit his soft facial structure and desired a more harmonious look. After careful consideration, he visited our clinic to explore options for Daejeon nose surgery.
When we met him in the consultation room, we observed that he had a slim build, short midface, and soft eye shape. These features were in contrast to the sharp contour of his nose, which disturbed the overall balance of his face.
Imaging and clinical analysis showed that the nasal hump was formed at the junction of the nasal bone and cartilage, while the alar cartilages were splayed outward, making the nose appear wider from the front. Additionally, the nasal tip lacked structural support, causing it to look flattened and undefined.
To address these issues, we planned a comprehensive surgical strategy. First, we resected the prominent nasal hump and harvested septal cartilage to build a stable tip support structure. A soft silicone implant was inserted along the nasal bridge to create a smooth curve, and the tip was shaped conservatively to avoid an unnatural lift. The wide alar base was corrected by suturing and repositioning the alar cartilages inward to create a neater frontal appearance.
In Daejeon nose surgery, it's critical not to focus solely on increasing nasal height but to consider the harmony of the entire face. Especially in male patients, where the skin tends to be thicker and cartilage more robust, overly sharp or high nose tips can often appear unnatural. In cases like this, where the patient has gentle facial contours, soft curves and moderate projection usually provide a more balanced and satisfactory result.
After surgery, the nasal splint was kept in place for about a week, and sutures were removed around the fifth day. While some swelling and bruising were expected initially, these gradually subsided over the following weeks.
By the third postoperative week, visible improvements were already noticeable. At one month, the tip had taken on a refined shape, and the once-wide nostrils had a more focused, cohesive look. The nasal hump had been smoothed out, and the new bridge line presented a softer, more stable contour that matched the patient’s facial structure well.
This case serves as a valuable example for those considering Daejeon nose surgery, especially individuals with structural imbalances rather than just aesthetic concerns. The combination of hump reduction and alar base narrowing requires a multidimensional surgical approach, not just simple implant insertion. A successful outcome depends on a detailed understanding of the patient's cartilage structure, skin thickness, and facial proportions, along with a customized surgical plan.
Feedback from the patient suggested that not only his nose but also his overall facial impression became more organized and coherent, which is a rewarding confirmation of the surgical approach. Daejeon nose surgery, when performed with tailored strategies, goes beyond cosmetic enhancement and supports a more complete balance of facial aesthetics.
If you are considering Daejeon nose surgery, we recommend thinking beyond just a “low bridge” issue and instead assessing the nose's role in the full facial framework. As the central feature of the face, even subtle changes to the nose can greatly impact one’s overall appearance.
All surgical procedures can result in swelling, bruising, or other side effects.
