Hooked Nose Correction / Nasal Hump Removal
INDEX
Hump Reduction Surgery is a procedure that refines the “bump” on the nasal bridge, smoothing the profile line. By correcting the step in the nasal bridge
, it softens a strong impression, aiming for a refined and sleek profile.

The hump often involves both bone (nasal bone) and cartilage (such as the nasal septal cartilage), and the appropriate approach varies depending on the specific condition. At our
clinic, we design the procedure considering the flow from the forehead to the nasal root to the tip of the nose, as well as the overall facial balance, rather than simply shaving down the nose itself.
Recommended for people like this
- The bridge of the nose appears protruding in profile (the step is noticeable).
- The bridge of the nose looks rugged and angular Gives a masculine, harsh impression
- Smooth out the bridge of your nose for an elegant profile.
- I'm concerned that my nose appears to droop (this may be due to a hump).
- I'm concerned about the unevenness and lines in my nasal bridge after surgery at another hospital.
Features of Our Eagle Nose Correction and Hump Removal Procedures
Rhinoplasty for a hooked nose and hump reduction is not simply a procedure to shave down the protrusion. If the
amount or location of removal is misjudged, the finished result can appear unnatural, such as an unnatural nasal bridge line or a noticeable width of the nose.
At our hospital, from a plastic surgery perspective
・Nasal bridge line (straight/natural curve) ・Connection between
nasal root and tip
・Perceived width and balance
・Frontal/oblique/side profile impression
We take a comprehensive approach to design, considering the overall aesthetic impact down to the beauty achieved after trimming.
Additionally, depending on the hump’s condition, we may recommend combining procedures such as osteotomy (narrowing) as needed to achieve a more natural and refined contour.
Treatment Process
Design and Consultation
Prior to surgery, we carefully examine the condition of the nose, confirming the position and size of the hump and the involvement
of bone and cartilage. While sharing your ideal image, we design the final contour line considering the balance from the front, oblique, and side views.
Anesthesia
The procedure is performed under intravenous or general anesthesia. This
helps reduce anxiety and allows you to undergo surgery in a relaxed state.
surgery
The bone and cartilage causing the hump are adjusted appropriately according to the condition, smoothing out any unevenness along the nasal bridge. Surgery
time varies depending on the procedure, but typically takes around one hour.
