Carefully choose a clinic experienced in nasal osteotomy
Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery. The nose plays a very important role in the face. It is a key element that determines balance and three-dimensionality, and the overall impression can change greatly depending on the height and shape of the nose. For this reason, many people consider rhinoplasty, especially when they feel self-conscious about concerns such as a low or crooked nasal bridge or a hump nose.
The shape of the nose can have a significant impact on self-esteem. When people feel dissatisfied with their nose, they often develop a strong desire to improve it. However, if rhinoplasty is performed simply to raise the nasal bridge, it may lead to an unnatural result. Therefore, at a clinic experienced in nasal osteotomy, customized treatment based on a precise analysis is essential, with careful consideration of the nose condition, face shape, and harmony of the facial features. A crooked nose may not only appear externally asymmetrical, but can also cause internal breathing problems. It may be congenital, but it can also occur due to various causes such as trauma or improper sleeping habits. A crooked nose can generally be classified into cases where the septal cartilage is deviated, the nasal bone is crooked, or the nasal tip is deviated. For each of these types, an appropriate treatment method should be selected at a clinic experienced in nasal osteotomy.
If the septal cartilage is deviated, surgery is needed to partially remove the deformed cartilage and straighten the remaining cartilage. In this process, wedge grafts are placed on both sides and tied with absorbable sutures to prevent the deformity from recurring. This method can straighten the nasal bridge while also improving postoperative stability. If the nasal tip is deviated, a method is used in which the thread connecting the tip cartilage and septal cartilage is pulled to support and elevate the nasal tip. This helps improve the shape of the nasal tip naturally.
If the nasal bone is crooked, a clinic experienced in nasal osteotomy must perform an osteotomy to reposition and reconstruct the bone. Through medial and lateral osteotomies, the nasal bones are separated and then repositioned so they do not deviate from the centerline when viewed from the front, restoring symmetry. In the case of a hump nose, nasal osteotomy may also be required. The bone on the nasal dorsum is refined, and any implant must be precisely placed according to each person’s nasal bridge. To reduce side effects, using autologous tissue is ideal, as it lowers the possibility of inflammatory reactions and helps create a natural shape.
For autologous tissue, there are various options such as septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and rib cartilage. Ear cartilage is soft and suitable for creating a natural nasal tip shape, while rib cartilage is thick and firm, making it effective for reconstructing the nasal structure. In some cases, it may be difficult to harvest autologous tissue. In such cases, a clinic experienced in nasal osteotomy can use a 3D customized implant designed to fit each person’s nasal structure. These customized implants allow precise design and fabrication and help minimize side effects.
Even after nasal osteotomy, swelling may occur. It generally becomes most pronounced 2 to 3 days after surgery and stabilizes around 7 days afterward. Therefore, professional postoperative care is very important. At Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, a board-certified anesthesiologist is on site to monitor the patient’s heart rate in real time during surgery and respond quickly to any unexpected situations. After surgery, patients receive anesthesia care in an intensive recovery room, and aftercare programs such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy and infrared therapy are also provided.
