Will I need revision rhinoplasty surgery to fix the bump on the side of my nasal bridge? (photos)

Based on your photos, your nose appears to be crooked to the right, so the revision would need to work on getting the whole nose as straight as possible, which is more than just shaving a bump. Different types of cartilage grafts may be needed to keep the nose straight. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

Hi @iveth. Thank for you for sharing your photos. I recommend seeing an expert revision rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are options for you that can be determined after examination.

Best of luck,

Dr. Nima

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photos, your nose seems to be crooked on the right side. Shaving down the dorsal hump will help it appear more balanced, but straightening the rest of the nose is essential to prevent further complications. Depending on your surgeon’s recommendations, you may need a cartilage graft on the left side. For the best results, I strongly encourage you to visit a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with experience in revision rhinoplasty.

Rasping down a bump on the bridge can be done as a small office procedure without a full revision but you have a curvature as well which to correct woukd require a full revision. It may be that you can get enough improvement from just the bump to consider doing the smaller procedure.

A revision rhinoplasty can accomplish shaving down the dorsal hump on your right side, however you're going to need a Cartlidge spreader graft placed on the left side where it is concave.
