Fixing dorsal hump with surgery

You will definitely require a full rhinoplasty and not just a hump removal. By removing only the hump on this nose, the nasal tip will not be in balance with the remainder of the nose. Osteotomies will narrow the nasal bones and prevent an open roof deformity or a flat top nose. Cost of cosmetic rhinoplasty is approximately $6,000.00, which includes the operating room, surgeon’s fee, and anesthesia. It is important to have this performed in a Medicare certified surgery center by a... more

Reduction of Dorsal Nasal Hump

Your hump can be permanently reduced or eliminated with rhinoplasty surgery. I respectfully disagree with excelent surgeons who would use fillers in a nose like yours; you need a reduction, not augmentation. Most fillers are temporary and therefore must be repeated throughout life, ultimately costing more than surgery. Having said that, I advise you to carefully review all options.

Fixing a dorsal hump

As many doctors have already said here, it looks like a rhinoplasty might be your best bet for lasting results. It's best to be evaluated in person with a board certified plast surgeon who can take a close look at the anatomy of your nose, your facial balance, harmony and proportions and formulate a plan that is unique to you and designed to give you the best results.

Improve a Nasal Hump with Rhinoplasty Surgery

First, be very careful with any injections into the nose. The nose is very susceptible to color changes, discoloration, swelling, blood flow, pain, numbness, and other potential complications with inappropriate injections into the nose. There isn't a filler on the market currently that is FDA approved for injection into the nose. Everything is being used off-label. Fillers should never be placed into the tip of the nose, since complications may more likely occur at the nasal tip.... more

Rhinoplasty versus non-surgical rhinoplasty for a hump.

Many times an isolated dorsal hump can be camouflaged with a non-surgical rhinoplasty for those who want to avoid the cost and downtime of surgery (or who are simply opposed to surgery). Temporary fillers like Juvéderm can let a patient "try it on." For permanent solutions, I prefer Artefill to Silikon-1000. Artefill is actuallyFDA approved as a cosmetic filler (while Silikon-1000 is not). Artefill is also much less likely to migrate and is arguably less technique-sensitive... more

Rhinoplasty

Fixing a dorsal hump is best by having a rhinoplasty. Fillers can make the nose look larger if you have a dorsal dump already.

Rhinoplasty offers your best bet for permanent correction

A rhinoplasty would likely help you tremendously. If the dorsal hump is your only significant concern, you most likely are an excellent candidate for a closed approach (incisions only within the inside of your nose). This could be performed under anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Your best bet is consultation with either a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Rhinoplasty and nasal hump

You will definitely benefit from rhinoplasty.  It's important to note however, that cosmetic nasal surgery in men is different than in women.  As a man, you want to retain a strong profile without overrotating the tip.  The last thing you want is to have a feminine nose after rhinoplasty.  Any functional or breathing issues you may have can be treated surgically at the same time.
