Rhinoplasty: Q&A
Ask a QuestionNose Job?
I have always wanted a nose job to remove the hump. I like the indent now but the bump hurts. I felt like when my hair was lighter it didn't draw as much attention to it but here I am with dark hair again and all I see is the bump. I went to an ear nose and throat and found out I have a deviated septum and he wanted to shave the bump and fix the indent. I don't know what to do and am just looking for honest answers.

Rhinoplasty is not a simple operation. Make sure you see an expert.
An Ear, Nose and Throat/Otolaryngologist - Head and Neck Surgeon, is well versed in managing problems of the head and neck - including those of the nose. While many Otolaryngologists are very experienced rhinoplasty surgeons, it is up to you to ensure you are entrusting your nose to an expert.
That expert could very well be an Otolaryngologist, a general Plastic Surgeon, or a Facial Plastic Surgeon (an Otolaryngologist who has done a year of specialized training in Facial...

Honest answers about your nose and a Rhinoplasty
I have performed Rhinoplasty for over 20 years and IMHO, your nose has quite a large dorsal hump, the nose is slightly crooked and the nasal tip has prominent cartilages with a deep cleft. Honestly, you are a very pretty girl and your nose is not helping your appearance in any manner.
Rhinoplasty would reduce the nasal hump, straighten the nose, thin the nasal tip at which time, if you really wanted to keep the cleft...it could be left intact.

A narrow preoperative nose can cause a new airway obstruction after rhinoplasty
I see not only the bump but also the fact that the middle third of your nose is narrower than the top or bottom. This is the internal valve area. Its importance is not only as a site of possible airway obstruction now, but also what will happen after your bump is removed.
The bump that you don't like is holding the sides out. If a surgeon takes off the bump and does nothing else your middle third will narrow further (because there is now nothing to keep the...

Nose job
Shaving the bump will help achieve more harmony to the nose. It can be performed the same time
as the deviated septum surgery. But if you dont have signs of nasal obstruction, im not sure why the ENT
is suggesting that it be corrected.

Nose bump and septoplasty
You can easily do both procedures at the same time. You may have additional charges for the cosmetic portion. There is no reason not to proced with a single operation.

Nasal bump reduction and septoplasty
A septoplasty procedure is performed to repair and straighten the nasal septum. The septum represents the natural inside division between the two sides of the nose. Although not clearly visible, the nose septum plays a crucial role in both nasal function and appearance. Therefore, a septum that is misshapen and deviated can contribute to nasal breathing obstruction and certain nasal deformities. Many times septoplasty is preformed during rhinoplasty to correct nasal obstructions and...

Nose Job
If you want to improve you nasal appearance by removing the hump and correcting the "indent" you can achieve your goals with a rhinoplasty by an experienced surgeon. When necessary, a septoplasty is frequently done at the same time.

Nose Job?
I am often asked a similar question and my answer is if it bothers you enough, then you can do something about it. In your case rhinoplasty will balance your profile and refine your nasal tip. If you do have breathing difficulty, then septoplasty will improve that too.

Septal and nasal surgery
Your nasal bump and indentation can be fixed with rhinoplasty. Not all septal deviations need to be addressed.
If you don't experience difficulty in nasal breathing , you don't have symptoms related to to nasal obstruction nor obvious external deformity secondary to the deviation then you can just proceed with the nasal reshaping alone.

A Comprehensive Approach To Septorhinoplasty
I think your personal assessment of the shape of your nose is very accurate. Your nasal shape issues of a dorsal hump,uneven dorsal profile line, and excessive tip projection with a bifid tip are all problems that rhinoplasty does well at improving. Given that you have been evaluated and determined to have a septal deviation, than a combined septorhinoplasty is a good operation for you to make an overall improvement. It is important that a complete approach to your nose be done and it...
