Can a nasal hump be recreated?

Yes, the nasal hump can be recreated. This can be done with surgery or it can be done with filler. I’d recommend that you speak with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.

Hello,Thanks for your question. Yes a hump can be restored with either an implant or cartilage grafting. I recommend that you consult with a revision rhinoplasty specialist once you are one year postop for the best chance of a successful outcome.Good luck,Dr. Shah

Hello.  It's not very common to request a hump or bump be returned.  The best way is with revision nose surgery, where cartilage grafts can be used to create a new profile.  Bear in mind, you may never get the exact same hump you had before.  Another option is to use fillers.  This can be done in the office, with no down time, and the results should last about a year or more in some patients.  This may be a good idea to try if you're not too excited about undergoing surgery again.  Make sure you see a board certified surgeon with experience doing rhinoplasties.  Take care.

Yes, it is normally possible to build back a bit of a bridge bump using graft techniques. This can be with cartilage or other soft tissue such as fascia.

Hi Rh.guide,
While it may be difficult to recreate the dorsal height or so called "bump" you had before, your dorsal height can be augmented either surgically or non-surgically.  Using cartilage and/or fascia, height could possibly be added strategically to give you some additional height.  The alternative non-surgical option would be to have filler placed along your dorsum.  This option may be a good start for you.  I would recommend either seeing your original physician or else seeking out another facial plastic surgeon to discuss your options in more detail.

A nasal hump can be recreated using filler injection, synthetic implant, or cartilage graft. Mypersonal preference is for cartilage, which can be precisely carved to the desired configuration,is more permanent than fillers, and is less prone to infection than synthetic implants. It is important to consult with a facial plastic surgeon experienced in revision rhinoplasty. I suggest finding a surgeon who can perform computer imaging to obtain an agreed-upon goal for surgery so that your surgeon can understand how you would like your nose to appear.

Sorry that you're unhappy with your nose. Once a hump has been removed, it can't be recreated in the same way that it was. However, the bridge can be built up again to restore height. We prefer using cartilage for this purpose. If you are mostly unhappy with your front view, it may have more to do with your bones. After a bump is removed, the bony bridge feels flatter and wider. Normally, the bones would be brought together through osteotomies to narrow the bridge and recreate a favorable contour from the front. If the bones were never brought together properly, it may be contributing to the feeling that you look very different from the front. I'd recommend a visit to a revision rhinoplasty surgeon for an evaluation to review your concerns and your options.

The contour of your profile view can be changed. I recommend that the patient's own tissue be used rather than an implant. Timing would depend on when you had your primary rhinoplasty.
