I want to get rid of the dorsal hump on my nose - would surgery be worth it? (Photos)

Question

I have been interested in a Rhinoplasty for a while. I spoke to a surgeon and he said that with my narrow nose, I risk having a Michael Jackson type result when I'm finished. My goal is to get rid of the dorsal hump. But I don't know if the risk is worth it and no one has been able to give me an idea of what I could expect as a successful result.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. Maneuvers for your surgery would include dorsal hump reduction, tip refinement, nasal tip deprojection, tip elevation, among other maneuvers. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Based on these photos, you seem to be excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. It would be very difficult to make your nose look like MJ’s in the hands of an experienced board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in rhinoplasty. Good luck.

With proper rhinoplasty planning, the dorsal hump can be reduced while preserving the natural proportions of the nose and face. The goal is not to over-narrow the nose, but simply to correct the hump in a controlled and natural way. When performed with this approach, a “Michael Jackson–type” appearance is not expected.
