Ruby Humpectomy
We remove the hump protruding from the middle of the nasal bridge for a smooth bridge and a soft, kind impression.
Cause of the hump
It comes from overgrowth of nasal bone or cartilage mid-bridge.
Correction by degree
Surgery is fitted to bridge height, hump severity and bone width.
Kinder impression
A smooth bridge creates a soft, kind impression.

What sets our humpectomy apart
We correct protruding cartilage and bone for a softer nose line.
A softer nose line
By correcting protruding cartilage and bone to create a soft nose line, the image changes to a refined one.
3D angle analysis
By analyzing the angles of the hump, nasal bridge and nasal tip three-dimensionally, we create the nose line that best harmonizes with each person's face.
Tailored to each case
Ruby Plastic Surgery applies the optimal customized surgical method according to the various symptoms of a hooked nose.
Where does a hooked nose occur?
Find out which area the curve of a hooked nose occurs in.
Nasal bone, Hooked nose location, Upper lateral cartilage, Septal cartilage
Humpectomy process
Surgery is matched to the size of the hump. If it is mild, only the hump is shaved or cut to smooth the bridge.
Before surgery
A sharply protruding hooked nose
Removing the hump
Only the hump area is ground or cut
After surgery
A smooth nose line
Hump osteotomy and raising the nasal bridge
After the protruding part of the bridge is resected, an implant is inserted onto the flattened nasal bridge and the nasal tip is raised with autologous tissue to create the ideal nose line each person wants.
Before surgery

Removing the hump
Only the hump area is ground or cut
Supplementing the nasal bridge with an implant
An artificial implant for the nasal bridge and autologous cartilage for the nasal tip
After surgery

Autologous tissue insertion
By inserting autologous tissue into the areas above and below the hump, the nasal bridge can be improved to a smooth one without removing the hump.

Frequently Asked Questions
The method to consider may vary depending on the protruding area and degree.
Which part is protruding in a hooked nose?
It refers to a state in which the middle of the nasal bridge protrudes convexly so that a curve is visible in profile.
Does the method depend on how much it protrudes?
It is divided into cases where only the protruding area is refined and cases where nasal bone osteotomy and adjustment of the nasal bridge and tip are considered together. The actual method is discussed after checking your current condition at your consultation.
Post-Surgery Precautions
Side effect information: Complications that can generally occur after surgery, such as bleeding, infection and inflammation, may vary in degree from person to person, so caution is needed.
