Abstract

It is common to find a nose with a hump, lower nasal tip and a radix among Koreans. A common procedure as an aesthetical improvement for such feature, involves rasping of the hump, while lifting the tip and the bridge at the same time. As for the hump, en bloc resection is a well-known, traditional surgical method, but it may cause an open roof deformity, which leads to a high possibility of infection if dorsal augmentation using silicone was performed through it as it connects the nasal cavity and dorsum. To overcome this complication, the hump on the bony portion and cartilaginous has been improved by a modified autospreader graft. Also, the graft can also be used for tip-plasty in dorsal augmentation using silicone, septal extension graft, strut and onlay graft. As a result of constant monitoring for a year, the reformation of the hump and infection was not found.
