I had a Rhinoplasty about two months ago and am generally satisfied with the results. I had my tip narrowed and slightly elevated, nose bones straightened (broke my nose years ago), and the hump reduced. The swelling has decreased very quickly and most of the narrowing has already taken place.
I went in to the surgery not bothered with my hump and only agreed to get it reduced when my doctor advised that the profile would look unattractive, and that the hump would be more visible with a narrowed nose. I understand from the answers I received to my previous question that it is rare for patients to request to keep a little bit of the hump.
I had not researched hump rhinoplasty before my surgery, as I was not really concerned with it. I couldn't even recognize where the hump exactly was, because the other irregularities in my nose were more visible. My doctor said that my hump was at the top of my nose and not at the lower half of the bridge. So now I wonder, does the little hump that I still have, located at the top of my nose, affect the lower part of the dorsum? I am slightly bothered with my profile, as it curves a bit. Does this relate to the hump, or tip projection? I appreciate any help.
Answer: Nasal Hump is an Important Part of Nasal Profile Removing the Nasal Hump will change your Nasal Profile. If you had your rhinoplasty two months ago and you are concerned about too much "curve" in your profile, I doubt that this will improve over time. You should wait at least 6 months before you consider making any changes. I would recommend considering a "non-surgical" correction if you have too much hump removed. I charge only $1000 to make this correction, and it can usually be done 6 months after the primary rhinoplasty. Larger "Saddle-Nose" type defects will require a secondary rhinoplasty to correct. I also recommend selecting a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for these types of secondary rhinoplasty procedures.

Answer: Yes, even a small hump can affect the dorsal line A small hump even at the top of the nose can affect the overall dorsal aesthetic line of the nose. It tends to create the appearance of having a broken nose. A hump on the nose is usually not considered feminine.
