I am 20 years old and I have always felt insecure about the bump on my nose. I have been reading a lot about Nose surgery and I have heard people just getting it filed down without having to break the nose.What is this called? What is the procedure? And what are the estimated costs?

Answer: Dorsal hump reduction Options for removing or reducing the size of "bumps" on the nose, also known as dorsal humps, depend on the size of the bump along with the rest of your facial anatomy. Very small bumps may able to be reduced by filing down the bone. Most larger bumps do require breaking the nasal bones after the bump has been removed in order to prevent a complication called open roof deformity. An open roof deformity is the appearance of an unnatural-appearing flattening of the nasal bridge that can occur when a bump is removed. To prevent this from happening, the bones on the sides of the nose are broken and turned inward in a triangular fashion to give a more support and structure to the nasal septum. If you are interested in less invasive options to reduce the size of a bump on the nose, you may want to look into non-surgical rhinoplasty, where filler is injected into the bridge of the nose to create a smoother, straighter bridge.

Answer: Filing Vs. Breaking: Which Is Better (Rhinoplasty) In my practice, I prefer to file bones gently rather than breaking them. This technique provides precision sculpting without the downtime of breaking bones. Gently filing the nasal bridge reduces the amount of swelling and bruising, thereby shortening the recovery period. It is always best to have an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has substantial experience in rhinoplasty. Thank you for your question, and best of luck to you!
