[Treatment of severe hump nose].
An improved operative method has been used to treat severe hump nose in 6 cases since 1989. During the one-stage operation, the shape of the nose was remodeled by correcting the hump deformity and trimming the large lateral cartilage, alar cartilage and septal cartilage. Five cases obtained satisfactory results. One case had second operation because of callus hyperplasia. The article describes the operative design and main points of the procedure. The advantages of the method are discussed.
