Can I Just Get a Closed Dorsal Hump Removal? (photo)
So my hump is really quite small but I feel like it makes my nose look fat from the side, so could I just get it shaved down with a closed rhinoplasty? Also, how much would that cost and what is the downtime? Also, I posted pictures too and I used a plastic surgery simulator and point A is my nose now and point B is what I would like. Thanks!

Removing a hump
I think your goals are very realistic and reasonable. This is a modified rhinoplasty. My fee is between $2500 and 3000 for surgeons fee. Usually it can be done under local with a little sedation which can cost another $7-800.

Closed rhinoplasty
A closed rhinoplasty is all that is needed to give this side view result . Unfortunately, the frontal profile is not shown, and that would determine wether osteotomies will need to be performed. Osteotomies are also performed thru closed rhinoplasty.

Dorsal Nasal Hump Removal
Your dorsal fullness can be removed using the closed technique. Although I have been a strong advocate of the open rhinoplasty procedure in some noses for 35 years, it would not necessary to achieve your goals which I strongly support. You can return to normal activities in 2 weeks; it will cost about $5,000.

Not so fast!
You have posted nice side-view photos of your profile and goal, but frontal views are missing, as is physical examination of your nose! You are already asking if your proposed surgical solution can be achieved, and thus far, 5 of my colleagues are eager to agree!
But not so fast!
Is your bump bony or cartilage, or a combination of the two? The latter is most likely, and simple rasping does not work well for cartilage. Since your hump reduction requires true finesse and accuracy,...

Now that is the way to ask and post photos. The answer is YES a closed dorsal hump filling can be done under local with I.V. sedation. Healing from a week to 3 weeks depending upon the amount of edma and ecchymosis. Fee range from $3,500 to $5,500.

Dorsal Hump Removal
Dorsal hump removal would likely give you the nose you would like. I do this through the closed approach. When you remove a dorsal hump, you usually require osteotomies to reduce nasal width. This can increase bruising. You would have a splint for a week, and I would think that most of the swelling would be gone in 3 weeks. For this, my typical fee would be $5000. Good luck.

Closed rhinoplasty for hump removal only.
This can be done IF you choose a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who can have you meet with not just computer imaging. The cost varies but is about $5-6000 depending on what needs to be done.

Can I Just Get a Closed Dorsal Hump Removal?
Absolutely. This would be a relatively subtle change that can be achieved with a closed approach. This results in a faster procedure, less swelling and no visible incisions. Cost varies by location and surgeon. I would recommend that you find the surgeon you want first and then save until you can afford the procedure that will give you the best results. Rhinoplasty is a procedure that you only want to undergo once. I hope this information is helpful.

Hump Removal
Hi,
Yes for a just a hump removal, a closed rhinoplasty would be fine. Of course for a complete evaluation a frontal view would also be good.
Best,

Can I Just Get a Closed Dorsal Hump Removal?
Yes I think you can be helped by closed hump removal by rasping the dorsum of your nose and if the bony pyramid is wide ( which I can not see from these angles ) then by infractures.All these are done by closed approach.
Wish you good luck.
