Hooked nose surgeryFACE
Reshape the nose line
to make it more refined
FACE hooked nose surgery is a procedure for correcting curved/bent aquiline nose.
The word aquiline is derived from the Latin word aquilinus (“eagle-like”) as the prominent bridge reminds one of the curved beak of an eagle. It is congenitally caused by the overgrowth of bones or acquired damage to the nose.
Many think that only the protruding bone needs to be cut off to correct the hooked nose, but both nasal bone and cartilage require trimming as cartilage is part of the hooked nose. The procedure depends on the severity of the hookedness.
Types of hooked nose surgery
-
- Moderate case
- In case the bridge protrudes slightly, and the nasal tip is not sagging, the protruding bone and cartilage in the middle of the bridge are filed or cut out.
-
- Severe case
- In case the bridge protrudes severely, and the nasal tip is droopy, the bone and cartilage are put together for correction. In some cases, implant is inserted to raise the bridge.
- Candidates

- 1Those who have a curved bridge

- 3Those who want a smooth nasal line
- 4Those who have an adequately high but uneven nasal bridge
- 5Those who have an injured nasal bone

Nose SurgeryThe staff were very kind to my inquiries, and the nose surgery I got was very satisfactory as the shape is just what I wanted. Their post-surgery care (sterilization) and other service were very nice, too! I only have good things to say about them!! The facilities are neat, and the staff are kind. I want to visit there again! I even wonder what other surgery I can have ~!
