Hello. I’ve been insecure about my small bump on my nose since I was a young girl. I have a rhinoplasty next week, was wondering what are the complications if the doctor only shaved down dorsal hump with a closed rhinoplasty? My doctor has great natural results. I love his work. He said it’s possible to just remove the bump. Will that cause an inverted v deformity ? Thank you.
Answer: Rhinoplasty Hi @Lilly Salcido. Typically when a dorsal hump is removed, the nasal bones need to be broken for a good outcome. You may also require spreader graft placement to prevent the upper lateral cartilages from falling inward. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Bump removal Though your bump is not terribly large, it involves both cartilage and bone. You will most likely need in-fracturing to narrow the bridge after hump removal. You might also need to have your tip either stabilized or have the projection increased slightly because the dorsal hump is a minor support holding your tip up!

Answer: Rhinoplasty In most cases where a hump is removed the nasal bones need to be broken to get the best result. Otherwise your nose will look too wide even if only a bump is removed. I would not use a graft but there are plenty of surgeons who would. Nothing wrong with that.

Answer: I’m removing my small dorsal hump, will I need a graft during a closed rhinoplasty? (Photo) Hello,From the single view you submitted it is difficult to give you the most complete answer...........however in general reducing your dorsal hump should not require grafting unless your surgeon wants to graft any cartilage to your nasal tip area or other areas to reshape your nose. I am not sure what you mean by an inverted V deformity.

Answer: Closed rhinoplasty to remove a small dorsal hump When removing the dorsal hump that you have, osteotomies performed in the nasal bones will be required to close the open roof, flat-top nasal deformity created from the hump removal itself. You may also require spreader graft placement to prevent the upper lateral cartilages from falling inward. Some minor tip adjustments may also be required. All this can be performed with the closed rhinoplasty approach with the incisions completely placed on the inside of the nose.
