Hump Nose Correction in Asians.

Hump Nose Correction in Asians. Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am. 2018 Aug;26(3):357-366 Authors: Won TB Abstract Nasal hump surgery is frequently regarded as a reduction surgery in most Western rhinoplasty textbooks and referred to as reduction rhinoplasty. Most Asian hump noses have a small hump frequently associated with a low nasal dorsum and underprojection of the nasal tip. Correcting a hump nose in Asians has distinct differences in concept and technique. A small hump and additional need for augmentation of the dorsum and the tip often minimizes the amount of hump removal or obviates resection itself. Characteristics of the Asian hump nose with emphasis on surgical techniques commonly used to obtain reliable results are presented. PMID: 30005791 [PubMed - in process]
