Can I Have A Minor Nose Job To Fix a Bump?

Trisha, I often refer to this type of cosmetic nose reshaping as a finesse rhinoplasty procedure. There are many patients out there who benefit from this type of finesse change to the nose where a subtle reshaping here and/or there can result in a nice enhancement without looking much different overall. I have included a link to our dedicated rhinoplasty site here in San Diego, CA where we discuss this type of cosmetic nose reshaping procedure. With regard to the costs associated with this kind rhinoplasty procedure, there might be some savings. However, you will likely still require the customary anesthesia and facility usage that goes along with a standard rhinoplasty procedure. So in the end the cost savings may be marginal. 

In my practice, it is possible to correct a slight dorsal hump using a conservative approach. For the most optimal and natural results, I prefer to not break bones but instead gently file them to the desired result. This technique is very meticulous and requires experience to perfect. In addition, the benefit to gently filing the nasal bridge will also reduce the amount of swelling and bruising, resulting in a win-win situation for the patient. It is always best to have an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in rhinoplasty.  

Your nose could be improved with rhinoplasty, which would give permanent improvements in symmetry and shape while improving the bump. You can bring the pictures that you think would be flattering to your face and these can be discussed.  It takes special interest and study to understand the facial aesthetics to create a nose that is harmonious with your other features. Take the time to find the right facial plastic surgeon and ask them to create digital images of the nose they propose for you and discuss the cost.
Hope this helps.
 

Hello Trisha,
thanks for the question, it would be much easier if you share some photos to have a prior consultation and know if you are a candidate for this operation.
with respect to the price may vary depending on the type of surgery that is performed but a rhinoplasty is from $ 2800 to $ 8000

Hello and thank you for your question. It is possible to have a conservative dorsal hump reduction with an aim for a natural appearing result.  Cost varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise.  Make
sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients
who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer
animation system.  You should be able to
view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed
by your surgeon. 
Best wishes and good luck.

Many patients request rhinoplasty surgery for an isolated concern, like a bump, but not all bumps are treated the same way. Nearly all of our patients with dorsal bumps that require surgery, need reconstruction and support for other parts of their noses to prevent unwanted tip droop. If your bump is very small, a permanent Nonsurgical Rhinoplastic Treatment May be considered. Consider re asking your question with photos. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph
