Hump Reduction (Osteotomy/Cartilage)

Nasal Bone Preservation Hump nose

Natural correction while preserving the nasal bones

Conventional Hump nose surgery involves shaving down the nasal bones, but Roi Plastic Surgery's nasal bone preservation method creates a smooth nasal dorsum line by repositioning the nasal bones without shaving them down.

1. What Is Nasal Bone Preservation Hump nose Surgery?

Hump nose refers to a nasal shape in which the middle portion of the nasal dorsum protrudes outward. Conventional Hump nose surgery has been performed by shaving down the protruding nasal bone and Cartilage (osteotomy).

However, the nasal bone preservation method is a modern Surgical Technique that creates a smooth nasal dorsum line by moving and repositioning the nasal bones inward without shaving them down. It can achieve natural results while maintaining the structural strength of the nasal bones.

Key Principles of the Nasal Bone Preservation Method

• A method that does not shave bone

Rather than performing an osteotomy on the protruding nasal bones, both sides of the nasal bones are precisely dissected, moved inward, and fixed in place.

• Maintains structural stability

Because the original structure of the nasal bones is preserved, the nose retains its support and strength after surgery.

• Natural nasal dorsum line

Repositioning the bones creates a smooth, natural curve of the nasal dorsum.

2. Differences From Conventional Hump nose Surgery

Conventional osteotomy method

× Nasal bones are shaved down and removed

× Potential weakening of the nasal bone structure

× Risk of an Open Roof deformity

× The nasal dorsum may become wider or irregular

× Relatively longer recovery period

Nasal bone preservation method

✓ Natural results without nasal bone osteotomy

✓ Stable due to preservation of the nasal bone structure

✓ Prevention of an Open Roof deformity

✓ Smooth and even nasal dorsum line

✓ Minimized side effects and faster recovery

What Is an Open Roof Deformity?

When a Hump nose is shaved down using the conventional osteotomy method, an empty space may form above the nasal bones; this is called an Open Roof deformity. It can cause the nasal dorsum to become wider or irregular and may require additional osteotomy for correction. The nasal bone preservation method fundamentally prevents this risk.

3. Surgical Procedure

01 / Precise Assessment and Design

A 3D CT scan is used to precisely analyze the shape and thickness of the nasal bones and the degree of the hump, and to establish the optimal surgical plan.

02 / Precise Dissection of Both Sides of the Nasal Bones

Both sides of the nasal bones are precisely dissected to secure space for moving the nasal bones. Damage to surrounding tissues is minimized during this process.

03 / Inward Repositioning of the Nasal Bones

The dissected nasal bones are brought inward and repositioned to smoothly correct the hump. Because the bones are not shaved down, structural strength is maintained.

04 / Fixation and Completion

The repositioned nasal bones are securely fixed, and Nasal Tip surgery may be performed as needed to create an overall harmonious nasal line.

4. Advantages of Nasal Bone Preservation Hump nose Surgery

✦ Natural nasal dorsum line

Maintains a smooth, natural nasal dorsum curve without shaving the bones

✦ Maintains nasal bone strength

Preserves the structure of the nasal bones to maintain stable support after surgery

✦ Minimized side effects

Without osteotomy, there is less bleeding, bruising, and swelling, with a lower risk of complications

✦ Faster recovery

Less tissue damage shortens recovery time and allows a faster return to daily activities

✦ Prevention of Open Roof deformity

Because the nasal bones are not shaved down, an Open Roof deformity does not occur

✦ High satisfaction

This procedure has a very high patient satisfaction rate due to its natural results

5. Recovery Process

Day 1 / The Day After Surgery - Dressing Change

The surgical area is disinfected and checked. Swelling may be present while the splint remains in place.

Days 5–7 / Splint Removal

The splint secured to the nose is removed. The nasal shape can be assessed to some extent at this stage. Sutures are also removed.

Day 14 / Swelling Reduction

Most swelling subsides, and the nasal line gradually stabilizes. You may return to daily activities.

6 Months to 1 Year / Final Results Stabilize

Residual swelling subsides, and the nasal bones settle into a stable position. Depending on the individual, minor residual swelling may gradually resolve over 6 months to 1 year.
