I Want to Get my Dorsal Hump Removed. Will I Need Refining and Shortening of my Tip As Well? (photo)
Here is a photo of my profile from both sides. They are both different which makes me think my nose is slightly crooked as well. Just wanted to know if any of you could tell by looking at the photos, if I will need shortening and refining in my tip as well? Going in for a consultation soon.

Rhinoplasty and dorsal hump removal
When the hump is removed, osteotomies will most likely be needed. In a crooked nose, osteotomies are needed to straighten the nose and on many occasions a small spreader graft, made from the patient’s own cartilage, is inserted on the concaved side to give symmetry to the nose. This can also improve breathing through the nose if that is an issue. The overall projection of the nose will decrease making the nose look less prominent. The actual tip of the nose may not...

It does appear you need some tip refinement in addition to lowering your bridge. Without some tip work done, I don't think that it will be imbalance with the remainder of the nose. By the way, you are an awesome candidate for a rhinoplasty. You are already beautiful and the rhinoplasty will make you even more so!

Rhinoplasty
Your posted photos show oblique deviation of the bridge to your left, a hump on the bridge and some asymmetry of the tip. A good deal of the tip asymmetry should resolve with realignment of the bridge to the center though some additional tip procedures may be warranted. However, the 2 sides of the human body though are not exact mirror images and cannot be made so.

I Want to Get my Dorsal Hump Removed. Will I Need Refining and Shortening of my Tip As Well?
Hello, in reviewing your posted photos it's clear that you will require a complete rhinoplasty. You would benefit from removing the dorsal hump, straightening and tip work. Based on what I can assess from the photos I would imagine that you have some functional problems as well. It is best that you consult with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon.

Dorsal Hump Removal and Tip Refinement
Your bridge is asymmetrical or deviated which explains the difference in the 2 profiles. A straight bridge with slight retroce' will make your nose look shorter. I cannot evaluate nasal length because you're smiling in the profile views.The asymmetrical tip should be refined.

I Want to Get my Dorsal Hump Removed. Will I Need Refining and Shortening of my Tip As Well?
Aesthetically, the dorsal hump can be removed and the projection, of the nasal tip, reduced. It's confusing for patients but the term "tip shortening" refers to the degree of tip rotation up or down. A downward rotated tip makes the nose appear long while the reverse make the nose appear shorter. This is different from "tip projection" which is a measure of how far off the face the nasal tip extends. In your case, the tip is over-projected and should be brought...

Tip surgery along with hump removal
From your photos it does look like you would benefit from rebalancing the projection of your tip (bring it in closer to your face). Your profile line could then be smoothed to take into account this new tip position. You do also appear to have a deviation of your nose to your left which can also be addressed at the same time.

Tip Refinement
Dear Turk123,
Based on your photos, you will benefit from a delicate tip refinement.
As a matter of fact, you are a good candidate for a multifaceted surgery where multiple aspects of your nose will be addressed starting with your nasal dorsum to reach the tip of your nose.
This approach will take care of your nasal bump, your overprojected tip and your overall nasal asymmetry.
It is important that you consult with a board certified surgeon of extensive experience...
