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

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 

The management of nasal bumps varies from patient to patient and depends upon the patient’s aesthetic goals and anatomic findings.  In some cases, removal of nasal bumps can be accomplished without breaking the nose.  When this scenario occurs, the dorsal hump is usually small and the procedure doesn’t result in widening of the nasal bridge.
            In the vast majority of patients who have nasal humps removed, fracture of the nasal bones is necessary to prevent widening of the nasal bridge.  When large bumps are encountered, the bumps consist of cartilage and bone.  Under these circumstances, removal of large nasal humps can result in a phenomenon known as an open roof deformity.  The only way to correct this nasal bridge widening is to fracture the nose along the base of the nasal bridge.

            The cost of this procedure varies and depends upon a multitude of variables.  In most cases, a standard rhinoplasty fee applies.

            If you’re considering rhinoplasty surgery and removal of a dorsal hump, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would be an appropriate step.  Your surgeon should be able to determine whether nasal infracture will be necessary to correct your nasal hump.
