It is true that a dorsal hump can be improved without tip work. However this may throw the balance of the nose off and you may require tip work for a harmonious result. A consultation with a plastic surgeon with rhinoplasty experience is your best bet.
Thank you for the photos. You can shape the nose by removing the hump with a rhinoplasty procedure. I recommend getting a sit down consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over what your nose will look like after surgery with the computer imaging. This way you and your surgeon will be on the same page as to how you want your nose to look, and also you can see some before and after photos of his/her work. Good luck
Generally, when you remove a significant bump of the nose, you expose the wider part of the bridge of the nose. This may or may not fit the remainder of your nose proportions. While it may be fine not to change anything about the tip of your nose, it should be a point of discussion with your nose surgeon as to whether the balance of the nose would remain ideal without altering the tip or the bridge of the nose once the bump has been removed.

Yes, a bump on the nasal bridge can be removed without changing the nasal tip. This types of concerns are often addressed very nicely with an endonasal rhinoplasty. During a consultation your surgeon can advise whether any other changes are indicated but the answer to your specific questions is definitely Yes. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
In theory it's certainly possible to remove a hump on the bridge of the nose without addressing the tip; however, in reality it's not very common. All parts of the nose should match and be harmonious with each other, and the nose should be in harmony with the rest of the face. If one is only removing a hump, the nose will appear longer. From your one profile view, you appear to have a bit of a droopy tip. Just removing the hump will accentuate the length of your nose. A tip lift might serve you well. The best way to decide would be to meet with a rhinoplasty specialist that can examine you and perform computer simulation. Best of luck
