I had my consultation with a surgeon about my Rhinoplasty. I only have a small bump but just a little longish nose. He said he would have to break the bone. But is it not just for when you have large humps that the nasal bone breaking is necessary? I am really freaked out. Is that necessary or avoidable? Please help me.

Answer: Osteotomies Essentail for Dorsal Hump Reduction Even if the nose has a small bump the dorsum has to be chiselled and then it leaves a broad base. To make that narrow the lateral bones have to be broken and pushed together. It might seem an overkill but it is the only way to do it. Some times a very minor hump can be rasped down but only if it is 1 to 2mm. Regards

Answer: Removing nose bump without breaking the nose Thank you for your question.It is possible to remove the bump on top of your nose without breaking your nose. This requires reducing the bone and cartilage on the top of the nose in order to remove the bump. However, it is important to note that if the bump is more than just a very small one, by reducing the bump on the top of the nose you require the bones along the side to be broken. The reason for this is that once the top of the nose has been reduced it leaves an opening where the bones no longer join because the top of the nose has been taken off. This is sort of like taking the off the top of the peak of a tent. With this open roof deformity, breaking the bones is necessary in order to restore the top of the nose.
