Introduction
Nasal deformity—treatment depends on the specific type of nasal deformity. Generally, for external nasal deformities—such as a depressed nasal bridge—implantation of either synthetic prostheses or autologous bone grafts into the nose can provide structural support and achieve rhinoplasty (nose augmentation). In cases of dorsal hump nose, the protruding portion must be surgically excised to achieve a smooth contour.

Many individuals suffer from nasal deformities, which can significantly affect facial aesthetics—thus requiring corrective intervention. How, then, can nasal deformities be corrected?

How to Correct Nasal Deformities

The approach to correcting nasal deformities depends on the specific type of deformity. Generally speaking, for external nasal deformities—such as a depressed nasal bridge—surgical augmentation using either synthetic implants or autologous bone grafts may be performed to provide structural support and enhance nasal projection. In cases of dorsal hump (a prominent nasal hump), the excess bony or cartilaginous tissue is carefully excised to achieve a smoother contour. For severe external nasal defects or absence, reconstructive procedures—such as local or regional flap transfer—are required to restore both form and function.

The cost of nasal deformity correction surgery typically ranges from approximately ¥5,000 to ¥14,000. Since the severity and nature of nasal deformities vary among individuals, surgical plans and associated procedures differ accordingly, resulting in variable costs. Individuals with higher disposable income or residing in high-cost urban areas may expect fees closer to ¥14,000, whereas those in lower-cost regions may pay around ¥5,000 for similar procedures.

Following surgery, patients should consume light, easily digestible foods and strictly avoid spicy or irritating foods. It is essential to protect the surgical site—avoiding trauma or impact to the nose—and maintain cleanliness and dryness of the area. Contact with water must be avoided to minimize infection risk.
