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.

Hi Jon,

You appear to have a low nasal radix above your dorsal hump. An experience rhinoplasty surgeon can lower your hump with or without a radix graft to build up the area above the hump. By adding the small graft less hump needs to be removed, and you have a natural "unoperated upon" appearance. There may be very slight sculpting performed in adjacent. Good luck and be well.
