I developed a bump on one side of my nose from a nasal fracture. It isn't particularly hump like, but it is very noticeable from the 3/4 view when I turn my head left. From right 3/4, profile, and front views, the bump is nearly invisible. Is it possible to shave the bump without osteotomies? Would this make my bridge more narrow? From the straight view, my nose has a natural hourglass shape, with some bowing on both the left and right sides of the bridge. Would this make the bridge uneven?
Answer: Nasal bump It is hard from your description to tell exactly but sometime the bump can be improved just by "sanding", or rasping it down.

Answer: Rhinoplasty candidate for dorsal hump removal When shaving down the dorsal hump, it doesn't take much to create an open roof deformity, therefore Osteotomyies are usually required in the nasal bones to straighten and narrow them, and close the open roof created from the hump removal. A full set of photographs required to make a determination along with an in-person examination. The hourglass issue also be addressed with osteotomies in addition to spreader grafts placed underneath the concave upper lateral cartilages.

Answer: Nasal bump A small bump can be reduced with rasping instead of osteotomies. It is a smaller procedure than osteotomies and can be done under local anesthesia. RegardsDr. J

Answer: Nasal bump removal Most of the time, taking down a small bony nasal "bump" can be done with only a rasp, and osteotomies can be avoided. Osteotomies are usually performed if the "bump removal" leaves the patient with a wide/flat dorsum.
