What can I do to make my dorsal hump less noticeable? (Photo)

Thank you for your question,Looking at just the side view you could improve your profile with either a rhinoplasty surgery to lower raised part of the bridge of your nose. You could also get some improvement by using a filler in the low part of the upper bridge of your nose-this option is an easy in office treatment, the results are not as dramatic and it is not permeant. The advantage is that is quick, painless and relatively inexpensive.I hope this helpsDr. Wayne

Hyaluronic fillers can elevate the depressed area above the
hump, called the radix, and camouflage the hump producing a modest cosmetic
improvement. They generally last 6-9 months. Micro-fat grafts are a more
permanent filler, but require a more involved procedure. There are synthetic
permanent fillers, but most plastic surgeons would warn against using them,
especially in the nasal area because of the long term potential complications.
Fillers will not produce the same long term balanced cosmetic result that can
be achieved with an artistically performed natural appearing rhinoplasty.

Keep in mind that following advice from a
surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do
based on limited two dimensional photos without examining you, physically
feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical
history and discussing the pros and cons of each procedure would not be in your
best interest. I would suggest that you find a surgeon certified by the
American Board of American Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or facial plastic
surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should
discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

Rhinoplasty or hump shaving for the nasal hump.If the hump is not very wide then narrowing the nasal bones does not have to be done. I would need to feel this in order to determine whether or not you would need a full rhinoplasty. See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.
