Is There Any Chance I Can Get my Bump Shaved Down Without Anything else Being Done? (photo)
Would i be able to get my dorsal hump just that little bit of a rasp down so that its a straight bridge, i like my nose shape and tip and how it looks from the front i just don't like my side profile because of the dorsal hump i don't care about a little button nose id be happy with my nose just if it wasn't for that bump, thats all i want doing a bit of a rasp down, also would i be able to get this with twilight anaesthetic or would i have to be fully put under general anaesthetic.

Nasal hump
If the bump on the bridge of the nose is reduced, you will also need the bones broken and the nose narrowed.

Dorsal Hump Reduction
The dorsal hump can be reduced through closed rhinoplasty incisions in about 10 minutes. You will also need osteotomies to close the open roof. This will tend to narrow the nose.

Dorsal hump reduction during rhinoplasty
Given the size of your bump (dorsal hump), you may need a couple of other things to ensure an excellent result. The first is the placement of spreader grafts, to prevent collapse of the middle third of your nose and something called an "inverted-V" deformity. Second, you may need osteotomies (fracture nasal bones) to close an "open roof" deformity. Open roofs occur frequently with large dorsal hump reductions. These additional maneuvers will ensure an attractive...
