Anatomy × Aesthetic Sense: Guiding You
Your Personalized Nose Design
The nose is a key feature that determines the overall balance and impression of the face. Even slight differences in contour or angle can significantly alter one's appearance.
At Bianca Clinic, our doctors, who possess deep knowledge of nasal anatomy, design a nose uniquely yours. They consider each individual's bone structure and facial expressions, blending anatomical expertise with aesthetic sensibility. We offer a wide range of procedures—from hawk nose correction to refining the bridge, tip, and nostrils—and propose the optimal plan tailored to your needs.
During consultations, we utilize the 3D simulation system "VECTRA®" to simulate your current appearance and the post-procedure outcome. We carefully align your ideal image with your current nasal condition, combining multiple procedures as needed to achieve a natural and refined result. If you are considering rhinoplasty, please consult with Bianca Clinic.

CHARACTERISTICSEagle Nose Correction and Hump Removal
Hump Reduction Surgery is a procedure that smooths out the prominent hump in the center of the nasal bridge, creating a natural contour. It involves removing excess bone and cartilage from the protruding area to form a straight nasal bridge.
In addition to hump reduction techniques, methods such as using silicone implants are employed to achieve overall balance in the nasal bridge. The optimal approach is selected based on the individual's nasal condition and desired shape. The procedure is performed using the closed technique, which accesses the nose from the inside, leaving no visible external scars.
What exactly is an aquiline nose?
An eagle nose refers to a nose shape where the bridge appears prominently raised when viewed from the side. Also known as a "hooked nose" or "witch's nose," it can make facial features appear sharper while also conveying a strong impression or masculine aura.
The cause of this prominence is the hump. The hump refers to the bump-like protrusion that forms at the junction between the "nasal bone" at the top of the bridge of the nose and the "lateral nasal cartilage" extending toward the tip. The larger the protrusion, the stronger the impression of an aquiline nose.
During the procedure, the appropriate method is selected based on the symptoms and desired outcome, such as shaving the hump or inserting a prosthesis (artificial cartilage).
Differences Between Rhinoplasty and Hump Reduction
Rhinoplasty and hump reduction are both procedures that smooth out the prominence of the nasal bridge, but they differ in their approach and range of applicability.
Hump reduction surgery is a procedure that reshapes the protruding part of the nasal bridge by removing bone itself. It is suitable for relatively pronounced humps, smoothing the nasal bridge from the bone structure.
On the other hand, hump reduction involves shaving down the nasal bone with a rasp-like instrument and simultaneously excising the cartilage portion with a scalpel to refine the nasal profile. This method is suitable for cases requiring more delicate adjustments or for mild to moderate hawk noses.
The most suitable method varies depending on the condition of your nose and your desired profile, so it's important to first have a doctor examine you to determine the optimal procedure.

Recommended Features
RECOMMENDED POINTSA straight nose bridge creates a favorable impression regardless of gender.
A prominent nasal bridge tends to give the entire face a rugged appearance. Consequently, a hawk nose has long been considered a masculine trait, and rhinoplasty to correct it has been a popular procedure among women seeking a softer look.
However, in recent years, men's aesthetic preferences have also undergone significant changes. There is a growing trend away from favoring neutral, well-defined facial features and toward avoiding rugged, hooked noses. In fact, we are receiving consultations from male patients expressing a desire for a more refined appearance of their nose. Today, regardless of gender, an increasing number of people are seeking to achieve a more balanced impression by refining the line of the nasal bridge, which greatly influences facial appearance.
Align expectations through simulation and reduce anxiety
One common concern many people have about rhinoplasty is "what the final result will look like." At Bianca Clinic, we utilize the 3D simulation system "VECTRA®" during consultations. This allows us to realistically visualize not only your current nasal condition but also the post-operative outcome, making it easier for you to concretely imagine your transformation.
By viewing the same images together, doctors and patients can discuss and align their expectations regarding the final results, addressing any discrepancies or concerns beforehand. Since simulations can be adjusted as many times as needed, feel free to discuss even the smallest preferences or questions. This helps minimize post-procedure image gaps and allows us to jointly determine a treatment plan that satisfies you, creating an environment where you can approach your procedure with confidence.
There are other options to minimize the prominence of a hooked nose.
Methods to soften the appearance of an aquiline nose are not limited to aquiline nose correction or hump reduction.
For mild to moderate hawk noses, hyaluronic acid injections can sometimes reduce their prominence. Hyaluronic acid is injected above and below the protruding area to smooth out unevenness and create a more even nasal bridge. Rhinoplasty or inserting a prosthesis between the eyebrows are also options. Medical-grade silicone or Gore-Tex material is inserted above the protruding area or along the nasal bridge to improve overall balance and minimize the prominence. Furthermore, if the hawk nose appearance stems from insufficient tip height, rhinoplasty or septal extension surgery can elevate the nasal tip, naturally covering the hawk nose impression.
At Bianca Clinic, we propose the optimal treatment plan tailored to each patient's nasal condition and concerns. For any concerns regarding the shape of your nose, please feel free to consult with us during your initial consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hump Removal and Nasal Hump Correction
Q&AHow long do the effects of rhinoplasty and hump reduction surgery last?
The effects are generally long-lasting. Since the procedure directly reshapes the bone and cartilage, the results rarely revert. However, changes in the nose's shape may occur due to aging or trauma. If you have any concerns, please feel free to consult us at any time.
How long does swelling last after rhinoplasty and hump reduction surgery?
Individual results may vary, but swelling typically subsides within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. Swelling often peaks around 2 to 3 days post-surgery, and bruising may occur. To minimize swelling, it is important to cool the affected area, rest, and refrain from smoking before and after surgery. Additionally, avoid touching your nose forcefully during daily activities.
Can I return to work immediately after rhinoplasty and hump reduction?
For remote work, you may be able to resume the very next day. However, since swelling and bruising may be noticeable, we recommend taking about a week off from going out or in-person work.
When can I bathe after rhinoplasty or hump reduction surgery?
After surgery, the affected area must be kept at rest, so bathing is possible only about one week after the procedure. Until then, please keep your body clean by showering.
Are there any precautions to take regarding daily activities after rhinoplasty or hump reduction surgery?
After surgery, take care not to subject your nose to strong impacts. During the recovery period, you may feel tempted to touch your nose, but persistent touching can worsen swelling and bruising. Additionally, refrain from smoking as it affects blood flow and healing.
After rhinoplasty to correct a hooked nose or remove a nasal hump, when can I start blowing my nose?
You may gently blow your nose starting approximately two weeks after surgery. Please avoid blowing your nose forcefully until one month after surgery.
Are the scars from rhinoplasty and hump reduction noticeable?
All procedures are performed through the nostrils, so there are no visible scars on the outside.
How long does it take for the nose to look natural after rhinoplasty and hump reduction?
It takes about six months for the post-operative swelling to subside and for the shape of the nose to fully settle.
