Refined, Delicate Profile Achieved Through Hump Correction and Nasal Tip Tying at Kowon Plastic Surgery

Hello, this is Dr. Hyung-taek Kim of Kowon Plastic Surgery.

When this patient first visited our clinic, a slight hump on the bridge of the nose made the profile look somewhat uneven. The nose appeared thick overall, and the tip drooped downward, so the overall impression leaned toward a somewhat gloomy yet strongly masculine look.

On top of that, the midface lacked some dimension, so the line running from the forehead over the nose to the corners of the mouth did not flow smoothly and looked somewhat flat.

“Treating a hump nose is not just about smoothing down a protruding bone. The key is to carefully balance the entire contour that extends from the forehead to the area around the mouth.”

So we neatly smoothed the protruding bump and refined the nasal bridge. We also lifted the drooping nasal tip slightly and performed tip tying, which helped lighten the heavy, thick appearance that had been so noticeable.

In particular, we naturally refined the height of the nasal bridge, which had stood out because of the hump, and performed forehead fat grafting at the same time. We paid close attention to making the line from the forehead to the glabella and down to the nasal tip connect more smoothly.

To create a slim, refined nose shape, we applied the tip tying technique, and we combined it with fat grafting in the recessed areas to naturally restore dimension across the entire face.

At the same time, we also decided to add fat grafting to the nasolabial folds, which looked deep, to restore volume to the sunken midface. As a result, the overall contour came through with much better three-dimensional definition.

By smoothing out the flow from the forehead to the nose and down to the corners of the mouth, we achieved a more feminine yet refined, delicate profile.

Looking at the post-surgery results, the nose, which previously looked stifled and sunken, now appears much more open and clear, while the thick, dull impression is gone. You can see that the overall mood has shifted to something far prettier and more refined.

This patient had been concerned because an overly long nasal bridge and a drooping nasal tip made their overall impression look older and somewhat gloomy.

In this case, simply raising the nasal bridge would not have been enough, so precisely correcting the structure of the drooping nasal tip was essential.

In particular, we performed tip tying to firmly secure the nasal tip so it would not droop again when the patient smiles or makes facial expressions, adding stability. In addition, we carefully performed tip tying once more to adjust the overall line and width of the nose, bringing out a sleeker look.

Through these meticulous steps at Kowon Plastic Surgery, the line that had been unnecessarily loose was gently refined into a defined, elegant shape, naturally shifting the patient toward a younger-looking and brighter overall impression.

[A Word from the Director]

“Our goal at Kowon Plastic Surgery is to thoroughly analyze each person's unique bone structure and the flow of their facial features, so we can create a three-dimensional, natural line that fits perfectly within the overall facial balance.”

As in this case, when a hump is neatly refined and the line is set through precise nasal tip tying, a dull-looking nose can quickly come across as refined and shapely.

Drawing on extensive clinical experience and deep expertise, our clinic personally takes responsibility for every step, from one-on-one custom design to meticulous surgical technique. Rather than worrying alone, we encourage you to come in for a consultation whenever you're ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is hump correction performed?

According to the case, the procedure involved smoothing the protruding bridge of the nose to refine the nasal bridge. The height of the bridge was naturally adjusted, and forehead fat grafting was performed together so the line from the forehead to the nasal tip connects smoothly.

What is the purpose of nasal tip tying?

It is performed to slightly lift a drooping nasal tip and to lighten a heavy, thick appearance. In the related case, it was also combined with the goal of firmly securing the tip so it does not droop again when the patient smiles or makes expressions.
