My nose has been growing for the past year and a half, but now I'm 18. I wanted to know how much it would cost to file down the hump on my nose, and if this would be a good idea, according to my face balance.

When I look in the mirror at my nose, at a certain angle I see a straight line from my nose to the tip, and I don't like this. I used to have a curve in my nose, but since the bump grew, It doesn't look right.

Nasal Hump Filing

Evaluate your entire nose with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. After removing the hump it may be necessary to narrow the surrounding bony part of your nose. In the pictures it appears you should consider changing the width and contour of your tip. After consultation you will understand all the alternatives.

Cost of rhinoplasty for dorsal hump or bump

This is a very common question in my practice. The answer is that a seemingly 'simple shave' of the nose is not that at all. Moreover, only a personal examination can determine if the problem is truly that the hump is too high and needs to be reduced, versus deficiency of the radix (above the hump) and/or deficiency of the midvault (below the hump). The latter is often due to trauma. Sometimes, to achieve facial harmony and ideal dorsal nasal height, we have to do a little of both... more

Cost of a simple shave in Rhinoplasty.

You would expect to pay less for a "simple shave". Alas, that may not be the case because the slightest of alternations in the nose creates other changes that need to be addressed and so while it appears as if all you need is a shaving, it may required much more than that. A surgeon, well qualified, will be able to determine exactly what else, if anything, you would need and would, I assume, charge accordingly... more

Rhinoplasty for hump removal and cost

Filing the hump down on the nose is only part of the equation when performing a rhinoplasty. After filing the hump down, osteotomies are likely to be performed to narrow the nasal pyramid. When the bridge is filed down this creates an open roof deformity which then necessitates osteotomies. That is a traditional rhinoplasty procedure. The tip depressor ligament can be released at the same time to allow the tip to stay straight and not plunge downwards upon smiling. The cost of a... more

Rhinoplasty

From what I see you would benefit from an open rhinoplasty, as you have not only a hump, but sub optimal tip. Prices vary according to location. Call to schedule an appointment with a reputable plastic surgeon.

Nasa bump removal cost is variable.

It depends on whether or not the nasal bones need to be narrowed after the bump is removed. That, in turn, depends on how much bump is removed and how wide the nose will be after this. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon to evaluate your nose.

Nasal hump reduction

Nasal hump reduction in your case is likely to also involve pushing the nasal bones back together to close an "open roof". This is much like a house. When you take the hump or roof down, you have to push the sides together to close the open roof or you will have a flat top effect to the top of your nose. I'm not sure what the prices in Chicago are but if that is all you want done to your nose you are looking at around 3500 dollars for a limited rhinoplasty. I hope this... more

Filing down a small nasal hump or bump: nose job (rhinoplasty)

Unfortunately it is not that simple. The bones are only 1-2mm thick whereas your bump is likely to be 3mm or more. That means that filing it down will go completey through the bone creating an open roof deformity. Imagine trying to take the peak off of an A-frame house, you would end up in the attic. Therefore we need to close the open roof. This is done with either a piece of cartilage or by bringing in the sides of the nose to recreate the peak.
