Abstract
- Oriental hump nose is characterized by mild degree of the hump, broad dorsum, low nasal height and drooping tip. The conservative rasping of hump or humpectomy and osteotomy is too invasive to the patient with mild hump and may yield unnecessary complications for example under or over correction, nasal stenosis. For these reasons we have performed augmentation tip plasty by shield graft with columellar strut using autogenous conchal cartilage and resection of the depressor septi nasi muscle to 8 patients with mild hump. All patients have been very satisfied with the result and no serious complications were noted.
