The aquiline nose, often described as a nose with a noticeable curve or hump on the nasal dorsum, is a common aesthetic concern for many patients seeking rhinoplasty. This appearance is usually caused by a bony and cartilaginous prominence along the bridge of the nose, which can affect both facial harmony and self-confidence.
At his private clinic in Izmir, Op. Dr. Mehmet Durmuşoğlu, an experienced otolaryngologist who has performed more than a thousand successful operations, specializes in rhinoplasty – nose aesthetics procedures, including the correction of aquiline noses. With his philosophy of achieving “aesthetic but natural beauty”, he combines advanced surgical techniques with patient-focused care to deliver balanced and natural-looking results.
What is an Aquiline Nose?
An aquiline nose is characterized by a visible hump or convex curve on the nasal bridge. The shape is primarily due to a bony cartilaginous prominence on the nasal dorsum. While some individuals consider this feature as part of their unique identity, others may feel it disrupts the balance of their facial profile and opt for nasal dorsum aesthetics through rhinoplasty.
Aquiline Nose Rhinoplasty – Surgical Approach
Aquiline nose rhinoplasty focuses on refining the nasal bridge to create a smoother and more proportional profile. During the procedure, excess bone and cartilage forming the hump are carefully reshaped or removed. Dr. Mehmet Durmuşoğlu applies modern techniques such as Ultrasonic (Piezo) Rhinoplasty, which allows precise sculpting of the nasal dorsum with minimal trauma and faster healing.
The surgery may include:
- Reduction of the bony and cartilaginous prominence on the nasal dorsum
- Smoothing the bridge to achieve harmony with the nasal tip and other facial features
- Adjustments to nasal width or tip projection if required
- Correction of internal structural issues, such as a deviated septum, when necessary
