Removing only the nasal hump

Hump removal often involves more than just taking away dorsal hump on the nose. Once the hump has been removed, the sidewalls need to be narrowed with osteotomies to prevent open roof deformity. It is also important to make sure the tip will then balance with the remainder of the new nose. The tip must be in harmony with the remainder of the nose, so some type of tip work may need to be done as well.

Removing a nose hump without changing the rest of the nose

It may be possible to change one area of the nose without major alterations to the other areas, but I'd recommend you discuss this with your surgeon who can examine you in person and discuss your goals and concerns more extensively. Then the two of you can decide what works best for your facial anatomy and desires.

Hump Removal without Changing the Rest of the Nose

Although you may not like your nose, it is not "in bad shape". All rhinoplasty surgery should be individualized; therefore, you can remove the hump without changing the entire nose. Your hump cannot be "shaved", but it can be excised.

Rhinoplasty can just remove a hump only

Rhinoplasty is very flexible and it is common that the hump is the biggest issue, and occasionally the hump is the only issue. As a rule we change what is necessary to reach the 'goal' shape, and is only the hump is the concern no more need be changed. We have even had some men tell us that they want a very small hump remaining to keep their nose in character with their face, and maintain a masculine look. We use computer imaging and simulation to help us lock on to the right... more

Isolated Nasal Hump Removal in Male Patient

Hi Jon, You appear to have a low nasal radix above your dorsal hump. An experience rhinoplasty surgeon can lower your hump with or without a radix graft to build up the area above the hump. By adding the small graft less hump needs to be removed, and you have a natural "unoperated upon" appearance. There may be very slight sculpting performed in adjacent. Good luck and be well. Dr.p
