Is It Possible for Me to Restore my Nose Hump?

Dear Fixingnose

Restoring some of the volume back to the bridge of the nose is possible with revision rhinoplasty.  


You will want to consider the change in the aesthetics of your nose in relation to your face.

 This can be best accomplished by reviewing a plan with a rhinoplasty surgeon and possible viewing computer imaging or photographs. 


Remember that adding a "hump" back will also change how the nose looks in all 3D.. Meaning looking at your nose from the front.   Schedule a consult to discuss your options.

Best Wishes. 

It is possible to augment the bridge of the nose through several methods that can help restore an overly reduced nasal bridge. However, restoring a "bump" is more challenging as there are no aesthetic guides to know exactly how much you want replaced. The only real solution is to add additional cartilage in the area where the depression is - assuming this is the case - to help recreate a straight bridge. See an experienced nasal surgeon to get more information on your options. 

Best of luck,
