Is it possible to remove dorsal hump in nose without changing the front view of it?? (photos)

Question

I love the look of my nose looking straight at it, however, I absolutely hate the dorsal hump you see from the side view. Is it possible to remove the humo without changing the front view? Also, is this possible through a closed rhinoplasty?

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

A closed rhinoplasty can be done to remove the hump. Usually the nasal bones need to be brought inward to prevent the area from being too wide and flat. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for the best results.

You have raised a very common question.  From your photographs alone you appear to be an ideal candidate for a closed rhinoplasty to address your nasal hump.  Its possible to achieve this with little or no change to the appearance of your nose from the front.  Your best step is to arrange a consultation with a  suitability qualified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Curtis Perry, MD · Answer

A modest hump like yours can be removed with very no change or at the most only a tiny change to the front view. It can certainly be done through a closed approach.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Your frontal view should not change much after the reduction of your dorsal hump. Best to be seen in person.
