This is a nose line correction that shaves down the hump (bump) in the center of the bridge of the nose to create a smooth side profile.
Hump nose correction is a surgery that creates a smooth profile by trimming the bone or cartilage (lump) protruding from the center of the nasal bridge. After shaving off the lump, the spread-out nasal bones are brought together, and if necessary, the nasal bridge and tip are trimmed together to achieve balance.
Raised lumps are trimmed and shaved, and any nasal bridge bones that may have spread apart are cut and brought back together (osteotomy). If the nasal bridge appears low, it may be supplemented with an implant.
If osteotomy is involved, bruising and swelling may increase. If a deviated nose is also present, it is recommended to correct it at the same time.
If the bridge of the nose appears flat after removing the lump, the line is supplemented with implants or autologous tissue to restore balance.
If the lump is shaved off, the nasal bridge bones may spread apart, so they are often brought back together via osteotomy. It depends on the case.
Yes, it is possible. Many dermatology and plastic surgery clinics in Korea treat foreign patients, and there are also many hospitals that offer consultations or interpretation support in foreign languages such as English, Chinese, and Japanese. On K-Dia, you can compare hospital information and real reviews, and consult directly via chat before your visit.
It usually takes about 5 to 7 days to return to daily activities, and the recovery period involves 7 days with a splint and 2 to 4 weeks for swelling. If you are traveling for a short time, it is recommended to schedule your trip with ample time to check your progress immediately after the procedure, and to discuss post-recovery care and precautions with the hospital in advance.
Costs vary significantly depending on the hospital, the scope of the procedure, the equipment and materials used, and the anesthesia method. Since Korea has a well-developed infrastructure for procedures, making consultations and price comparisons relatively easy, it is recommended to compare quotes from multiple hospitals rather than relying on just one. You can check event prices and actual reviews by hospital on K-Dia.
