What would be the best option for my nose hump? (Photos)

Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. The bump can be taken down and the tip lifted, made thinner, and refined, all while keeping things looking natural. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

If your goal is to reduce the nasal hump and achieve a smoother profile, a closed rhinoplasty would be a suitable option. I use this approach to reshape the nose through incisions inside the nostrils, avoiding an external incision across the columella.

The amount of hump reduction should be tailored to your bridge, tip, and overall facial proportions. My goal would be a natural, balanced result while preserving nasal support and breathing function.

A consultation and additional photos would help determine whether you are a good candidate for the closed approach and which refinements would best address your concerns.

Thank you for sharing your photos and your concerns.
Rhinoplasty would be the most effective option to address your nasal hump and create a smoother, more balanced profile. The surgical plan would depend on your nasal anatomy and could include reducing the hump and refining the bridge while maintaining natural proportions and nasal function. Additional views and a detailed assessment would help determine the most suitable approach for you.

Thanks for your question. A nasal hump is bone in its upper part and cartilage below, so the approach depends on how much of each is involved and how the hump relates to the rest of the nose. Removing it is rarely the whole story: the starting point of the bridge between the eyes, tip projection and even the chin decide whether a straight profile looks balanced on you. Depending on anatomy, the hump can be lowered and the bones narrowed, or in selected noses the bridge can be preserved and lowered as a unit, all while protecting breathing and internal support. A thorough exam, including profile and base views, with a board-certified rhinoplasty specialist will show what fits your face.

Thank you for sharing your photos. Your side views suggest a dorsal hump. If your goal is to reduce the hump and create a straighter profile, rhinoplasty is the most direct, lasting option. The amount of reduction should be planned in relation to your nasal tip and overall facial proportions, while preserving nasal support and breathing.
Filler can camouflage some humps by adding volume above and below them, but it does not remove the hump or make the nose smaller. Nasal filler also carries rare but serious risks, including skin damage and vision loss, so it should not be viewed as a risk-free alternative.

Yes, of course if you don't like the bump on the bridge, the bump can be taken down.

If it is, it's likely to accentuate the fact that the tip of your nose is a little bit droopy. That droopiness is less visible right now because our eye is drawn to the bump. So the tip of your nose should be elevated a bit, or else you might think your nose had been lengthened while the bump was removed. How *much* to elevate the tip? You must see morphs from the surgeon before hand, so you can fine-tune a plan.

Then, you've got somewhat of a weak chin. I personally think you might like it if a small chin implant were placed at the same time. But only a small one! You don't need to completely correcct a chin to some artificial standard -- just move it a teeny bit in the forward direction, so most people don't notice, but it would make the bump removal *look* more effective.

My two cents.

The limited photographs demonstrate a dorsal hump on your nose, and an overly projecting nose, and an under projecting chin. They closed rhinoplasty can accomplish shaving down the dorsal hump, refining the nasal tip, and narrowing the bridge line with all of the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. Consider placement of a chin implant to augment your chin forward for better facial balance and proportions. Performing a chin implant will make your nose look smaller due to facial proportions.

Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey-haired plastic surgeon's sport. You should be able to have a beautiful result and would enhance your face dramatically. Best wishes to you.

You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. It could be done open or closed. I recommend consisting with a few different surgeons bearing in mind that you are likely to get different opinions from each. Just remember, when it comes to rhinoplasty experience is everything

In order to correct current condition you will need a rhinoplasty. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon should be your next step. Good luck.
