Abstract
|
|
|
It is common to find a nose with a hump, lower nasal tip and a radix among Koreans. For better results, the pa- tients also need lifting the nasal tip as well as augmentation of the dorsum, nasion after humpectomy. In such case, since the amount of autologous cartilage is often insufficient, alloplastic implant is mainly used for surgery.
However, if the patient has a rejection of the prosthesis, preserving the hump may reduce the amount of autolo- gous cartilage required for augmentation. By preserving the hump without removing it, we were able to reduce the amount of autologous cartilage needed for the operation and make satisfactory correction of the hump nose using only autologous cartilage.
