I had a consultation a month ago and the surgeon told me he would preform a closed rhino to remove the hump. He said he would aim for a natural looking nose. I am just wondering if the tip will look as droopy he only works on removing the hump.

Answer: If your droopy tip is not addressed during rhinoplasty surgery, it may worsen postoperative, after hump removal. There are ligaments from the nasal bridge to the nasal tip that naturally get disrupted after removal of a nasal, dorsal hump. If tip-plasty and support is not performed after hump reduction, the result may be worsening of your droopy tip.Thank you for this excellent question.My best.Dr Joseph

Answer: Rhinoplasty to remove a dorsal hump Remember, the nose is a three-dimensional structure and the side profile is only one dimension. When performing a rhinoplasty, it's important that the dorsal hump is removed which is composed of both bone and cartilage. Once the hump has been removed, osteotomies are performed and the nasal bones to narrow the bridge line. Once those 2 maneuvers have been accomplished, it is important to evaluate the nasal tip. The tip may need to be rotated upwards and refined and narrowed based on a full set of facial photographs. For more information and many examples, please see the link and the video below
