So I don’t know how I got this weird nose hump since no one in my family has it and I haven’t ever broken my nose. It’s only one one side of my nose and you can very clearly see it when I turn my head by 45 degrees. I love my nose but it’s just that hump that I hate. Another thing I would add is it that the hump isn’t hard- it goes down when u press on it then comes back up in a few minutes. I guess it’s cartilage. Can I get a microrhinoplasty just to make the hump a bit more straight?

Answer: Nasal hump removal I typically do not suggest having rhinoplasty under local anesthesia as it is a surgical procedure that can have some bleeding into your airway. Having said that, though it may appear that the hump simply needs to be shaved down and that is all you need, if the hump is high and you shave down the bone enough, you may end up with what we call an open roof deformity and then you would need your bones narrowed which is a bit more aggressive than local anesthesia would help you with. If the cartilage is also an issue in your nose then that needs to be addressed as well. The key is to get the best result and not the least invasive procedure that gives a mediocre result, even if you love the rest of your nose.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Although rhinoplasty can be done under local I suggest you do not use this a a main criteria for selecting your surgeon. Although I do only closed rhinoplasty, most surgeons now do it open, so that may limit your options as well.
