Can Nose Hump Be Removed Without Changing the Rest of my Nose?

Hi Jon,

You can have only the hump removed by itself without doing anything else. The problem would be that you would get very natural looking appearance.

After looking at your nose carefully these are the suggestions I have for you (without having access to the other views);


Reduce the hump

Shorten the nose slightly

Improve the tension appearance of the nose

Improve the columellar show

improve the radix, glabellar region with graft,

Improve the airway as needed.


Have an evaluation by someone experience in ethnic nose and you should have a good result without changing the appearance of your entire face while getting a good result.

Hope this was helpful.

Usually, it is not just the removal of the nasal dorsal hump that is needed. One needs to provide nasal balance of the nasal dorsum with the tip and the rest of the face. It is uncommon to remove the nasal dorsal hump without doing some finesse changes to the nasal tip. This requires operative expertise and experience of a rhinoplasty surgeon.

Hump removal often involves more than just taking away dorsal hump on the nose. Once the hump has been removed, the sidewalls need to be narrowed with osteotomies to prevent open roof deformity. It is also important to make sure the tip will then balance with the remainder of the new nose. The tip must be in harmony with the remainder of the nose, so some type of tip work may need to be done as well.
