How can I disguise my dorsal bump? (Photo)

If filler is not wanted, then a surgery must be done. A small piece of cartilage can be placed at the top of the nose, but commonly, the whole bridge is brought down some so it lines up better. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.

Thank you for your question and photos. Since you’re not interested in filler to mask the appearance of your dorsal hump, rhinoplasty is likely the best long-term solution. During this surgical procedure, the dorsal hump can be shaved down with nasal rasps to create a smooth slope that is balanced with the rest of your facial features.

Keep in mind that rhinoplasty is one of the most complex of all plastic surgery procedures, requiring skill, experience, and artistry to produce the best possible result. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to discuss your concerns and goals with you to help you decide on the best approach.

Since you are looking for a fix that is not temporary, your best choice would be a rhinoplasty. Consult with a local rhinoplasty surgery for their expertise and guidance.

Based on your photos, the lower 1/3 of your nose appears to be Over projected. That means it sticks out a bit too far from your face. This is also associated with a profile hump, and rhinoplasty surgery to remove your hump and de-project your nasal tip maybe the best option for achieving a less distracting and more feminine nasal appearance. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Hi there. There are multiple ways to correct the view; 1- Remove the bridge and leave the top alone. 2- Leave the bridge alone and elvate the top of the bridge 3- Gradually increase the top of the bridge combined with gradually decreasing the bridge. all of the options can be done with the rhinoplasty surgery. Hope these will help you decide.

Hello! Thank you for your question.I have evaluated your photos. I highly recommend you a rhinoplasty surgery. It is the best way to get rid of your dorsal bump. Your wish picture is realistic. As you mentioned, filler is temporary and it may lead to many complications (such as blindness as you said, many people are not aware of that).

If something -- filler or a graft -- is placed above the bump, it just makes the nose look much larger and more prominent, and I'll bet that's not what you're looking for. The bump is removed in a rhinoplasty, but importantly, the nose is evaluated to make sure it still looks right and natural with the tip position, width of the bridge without the bump, etc.
How *much* to lower the bump, or make other changes? We figure that out with morphs, well before surgery. I'd love for you to see some excellent professionally-designed morphs of what could possibly be done with your nose. Morphs could also help you identify better just what's bothering you, and help you set a goal for the rhinoplasty that's accurate for your tastes. Profile and three-quarter views would be particularly important in morphing your nose. (Side note: in my opinion, morphs should really be done by the surgeon, or he should direct an assistant as she makes the morphs. Morphs should be made with a constant eye to what actually *can* be done in surgery, for that particular nose, and the surgeon has that information and judgment best.)

Finally, remember that rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. The changes that your nose needs require advanced techniques, and skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. For most noses, it's much better to not have surgery than to have inexpertly-performed surgery. Read my essay on how to stay out of trouble while selecting a rhinoplasty surgeon. And it also discusses how to take photos that are best for online evaluations.

There are surgical options to address a dorsal hump or bump on the nose. One of the most common procedures is called a rhinoplasty or nose job, which can involve reducing the size of the bump by removing bone and cartilage. In some cases, the surgeon may also use an implant to help smooth out the bridge of the nose.

It's important to note that any surgical procedure carries risks and potential complications, and it's best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon to discuss your options and the potential risks and benefits of each approach. They can evaluate your specific case and recommend the best course of action for achieving the results you desire.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

You are a good candidate for dorsal hump reduction rhinoplasty. I would not recommend augmenting it to ‘hide’ the hump. If the hump is the only thing for which you seek improvement, a closed technique approach would be feasible.

A surgical closed rhinoplasty can accomplish shaving down the dorsal hump. All the incisions replaced on the inside of the nose. No external incisions are required, and no painful packing is required either.
