Correction Possible for my Dorsal Hump?
I have a hump on my nose and I want to get it removed. Is my nose a candidate for only the removal of the hump or would more work be recommended? With the size of my bump how difficult would the procedure be, and how much would it cost? Picture included.

Nasal bones need to be narrowed as well
Once removing a hump of that size, usually the nasal bones will need to be narrowed; otherwise a flattop open-roof deformity will result. It is pretty rare to be able to do only a hump removal unless it is very small. Cost of the rhinoplasty is approximately $5700, which includes the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia fee, and operating room.

Hump rhinoplasty only
Your side view indicates the presence of a small osseocartilaginoius hump which could be managed with a reduction. The decision to do more depends on your desires. Generally management of the tip will be completed if you desire a change in the appearance.
Costs will vary tremendously depending on several factors.

Dorsal Hump
In general, you can do as little or as much as you want with rhinoplasty surgery. After a thorough evaluation by your surgeon, you will decide what you will change. Cost will vary depending on what is done, not the size of your hump.

Hump Removal Can Improve Profile
Removal of a hump on the bridge of the nose (dorsal hump reduction) can create a dramatic improvement in the profile. It is possible to remove only a hump from the bridge. This can be accomplished by rasping (filing down) the hump through incisions made on the inside of the nose (closed rhinoplasty). Usually, if a hump is removed, the nasal bones must be surgically broken (osteotomies) to narrow the nose and close any gaps created after the hump is removed.
However, in order for the nose to...

How to treat your profile nose-bump.
The picture you posted only shows a single view of your nose, so it's difficult to tell what would be your best option. It seems that your tip is overprojected (comes out too far from your face), and you might benefit from a rhinoplasty to address the bump, and to address your tip.
You should consult a board-certified, experienced rhinoplasty surgeon with many favorable photos.
I hope this helps, and best regards.

Dorsal Hump
A dorsal hump can be taken down to improve the profile. The smaller it is the less likely you will need infracture of the bones.

Rhinoplasty to Correct a Dorsal Hump
Hi Leah,
Yes, your dorsal nasal hump may be removed. I would advise a subtle rhinoplasty. Your hump can be rasped down (like using sand paper, but stronger). After taking down the hump, your nose would need to be re-evaluated to determine if other maneuvers would be necessary to give you a well balanced nose in harmony with your face.
I have put the cart before the horse though. First it is essential for you to be evaluated by a rhinoplasty specialist who will examine your nose and make a...

How to fix a dorsal hump
Obviously, a complete recommendation is not possible without a consultation and physical examination. However, generally speaking, the hump on the nose can be shaved or chiseled down, or alternatively, a non-surgical rhinoplasty can flatten the dorsal hump by building the nose up above and bellow the nasal hump.
In a non-surgical rhinoplasty, an injectable filler such as Radiesse is injected under the skin during an office visit. This will give a a temporary result for about a year or two....

See a rhinoplasty specialist.
The pictures you have supplied don't tell the whole story. Sure, just the bump can be removed. It would be a better idea to have your nose evaluated by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon whose work looks good to you.

Keys to a beautiful profile
Almost everyone who seeks removal of a nasal hump does so in order to make the nose look smoother on profile. With that assumption, there are several important things to remember when one is looking to improve the profile of the nose.
1. If a hump is removed, several other things happen to the nose which may require additional measures. For example, if the bone and cartilage of a hump is removed, the bridge of the nose is essentially "uncapped". There may then be an open space and...
