Large Nose Bump, What Would You Recommend? (photo)

Hi there. So I have never been very satisfied with the way my nose looks. In general, it is rather large... and I have a bump that I have never liked.. especially from a side view. Based on my photos, if I were to have a rhinoplasty, what would be recommended to improve the overall appearance of this on my face? Thanks so much

How To Address A Large Nose With Irregularities

Dear Eireann, Based on your photos, it seems that aside the elimination of the nasal bump you could benefit from a bridge narrowing, a tip de-projection (including the fixing of your tip crease) and an alar base reduction. So, overall your nose will look smaller and narrower. With that perspective, it is crucial to note that your surgery is of a delicate nature and should be approached with careful planning to provide you with a "natural-looking" that fits your face... more

Recommendation for nose with large bump

The hump removal can certainly be a part of the rhinoplasty procedure to feminize and refine the nose. Once the hump is removed, osteotomies will need to be performed. A small amount of tip surgery may need to be performed to balance the tip with the remainder of the nose features. Shortening of the nose will also need to be performed to decrease the overall length and projection. This can all be done through closed rhinoplasty techniques under a brief general anesthesia. more

BE VERY CAREFUL!

I need you to take notes of a few things: 1) Your side profile photo shows you blowing into a horn of some sort which distorts the junction between your nose and upper lip therefore whether your tip needs to be lifted and how much lifted if any at all cannot be accurately judged from this photo. I need better pictures or need to see you in person. 2) your front view picture has been taken with the camera shooting from above and you are smiling. Both of... more

Large Bump

After reviewing your photos it is quite clear that you would benefit from rhinoplasty surgery. First of all the dorsal bump should be rasped down as well as shortening the length and rotating the tip up slightly. You need to schedule a consultation with a board certified surgeon for a proper examination. At that time you will get a better idea of how you can expect to look when the surgeon morphs your photos on the computer. You can also give him some ideas of how you would like your... more

Hump reduction or hump reduction with tip modification depends on your nose and your goals

Based on your pictures, you are likely a candidate for rhinoplasty. In my opinion two options are possible for you based on these limited views: (1) a closed/endonasal rhinoplasty with hump reduction alone or (2) an open rhinoplasty with hump reduction and tip refinement. You need a thorough consultation and discussion with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine what's best for you. Good luck.

Nasal hump and tip refinement

Reducing a nasal bridge bump and raising the tip is the most common type of primary rhinoplasty performed. Aesthetically, it makes your eyes stand out more by making your nose and central portion of your face less noticeable, thereby altering the balance of your face for what most people consider the better. It is best to have a formal in-person evaluation to make sure you do not have underlying nasal structural or obstructive issues which can be worsened by rhinoplasty or which... more

Nasal hump

I agree that hump reduction and tip refinement, as well as some upward rotation of the tip would be what I would recommend based on the photos you submitted. I can perform imaging in my office to show you what these changes would look like.

Large Nasal Hump - Ptotic Overprojected Tip

Hi, From your pictures I would reduce your hump and rotate your tip. Also the tip cartilages may need some sculpting as well. Overall it wouldn't take much to refine the bridge and the tip. I can image your pics but I cant attach them to this page. Reach out me and I send them via my email. Best, Dr.S. see video
