After perlane inserted into my nose on 2 occasions, my dorsal hump is once again appearing. Have had the liquid nose job fail, and have seen the Dr he suggested surgery before getting a permanent filler inserted due to the risk of infection with a foreign body.

Answer: How much would a dorsal hump shave cost, & can an ENT perform this? I don't want full rhinoplasty. Who is best in QLD? (Photo) Thank you for sending those photos. I think, from what I see on those photos, that simple rasping of your hump will not be sufficient. It will lead to an open book deformity where by the dorsum of your nose will be wide and deformed and with a thin skin like yours you might even see the details of the separated bones underneath. To prevent this you will need osteotomies that will help reshape your nose and bring those bones together to close the tip of the pyramid again. My suggestion is to check with an ASAPS member well versed in nose surgery who can assess you in person and give you the plan that suits your current situation and the look you wish to have.Best,Shady Hayek, M.D.Beirut, Lebanon

Answer: Dorsal hump It is tough to tell from only a set of pictures, but it appears that an endonasal dorsal hump take down would improve your nasal profile. Additional surgical maneuvers may be necessary, such as lateral osteotomies to correct an open-roof deformity (as one physician already mentioned), but one would not be able to fully comment on this without having the opportunity to examine your nose. Regarding qualifications of cosmetic surgeons, all ENT's are trained in basic facial plastic surgery, but only a few are board certified facial plastic surgeons. Whomever you choose, they should have experience in rhinoplasty, and perform rhinoplasty frequently (not 1-2 times per year). Most importantly, though, you should be comfortable with them. Good luck!!
