I've always liked my nose, its small and looks good from the front. But lately I've been noticing that I have a minor bump in certain angles when I look at photos of myself. I heard its possible just to rasp the hump under local anesthesia, am I a good candidate for this? Would the cost be less than normal rhinoplasty?

Answer: Rhinoplasty for a more feminine and attractive knows. Rhinoplasty for a more feminine and attractive nose. You need a full rhinoplasty to narrow the nasal bones etc. after the hump is removed. Patients do not like to hear the sounds associated with this so I would advise you to do this under general anesthesia. See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who obtains natural noses and do not rely on imaging.

Answer: Shaving the bump- not so simple sometimes In the old days, doctors would simply use a large sharp tool and take off the hump: bone, septum and upper lateral cartilages. Unfortunately, that exposed the underlying anatomy, causing an open roof deformity. It is now possible to deal directly with the septum that is ultimately causing the problem, and preserve the natural covering that the upper lateral cartilages afford. However this requires a specific step. Whether or not an osteotomy will also be required is a judgment call that comes from many years of experience doing the procedure. The nose is quite delicate and great care should be taken when designing a surgical plan... not just shaving off the bump!
