What Is a Hooked Nose?

For a smooth nose line

A hump nose (aquiline nose) is a nose with a bump protruding from the middle of the bridge. It often comes with a long, drooping nasal tip, which can give a harsh, older-looking impression, so this surgery corrects the cartilage and bone to smooth out the curved bridge.

Hooked Nose Surgery Methods

The correction method varies with the degree of the hump and the height of the nasal bridge.

    01

    Mild hump

    If the hump is not severe, filing down the protruding area alone may be enough to correct it.

    After the protruding part is shaved down, an implant is inserted to raise the bridge to an appropriate height and angle. In most hooked noses the nasal tip droops, and in such cases tip rhinoplasty using autologous cartilage is performed on the drooping tip, matched to the forehead and nasal bridge line.

    CASE 03

    After the hump is shaved down, an osteotomy is performed on the lateral nasal bones and they are brought toward the midline to narrow the nasal width, creating a natural line after surgery.
