You can correct this hump by either method of filing it down (rasping) or Micro-fracturing it depending on how prominent it is. It all depends on the width of the nose, the appearance of the bones on the opposite side and the degree of the hump. If you can post the picture, we can help you more specifically. Please be aware of fillers in the nose as it can cause some serious and unfortunate outcomes. Hope this was helpful. Dr. Sajjadian
The majority of patients who undergo rhinoplasty for thetreatment of boney dorsal humps require surgical infracture. In this group, thelarger the boney deformity, the greater the probability that infracture will benecessary. Whendorsal humps are removed, the nasal bridge often appears to have an increasedtransverse width. Under these circumstances, infracture is necessary tooptimize the aesthetic result. Inyour case, it’s virtually impossible to make a recommendation without aphysical examination and pictures taken from multiple angles. Each patientrequires a comprehensive evaluation before any decision can be made. Insome cases where the bump is small and the bridge is narrow, removal of thebump alone will be adequate and give excellent surgical results. In othercases, where the bump is large and the bridge is wide, infracture is usuallyunavoidable. Althoughpatients are often afraid of having their nose broken, most patients do wellafter this maneuver. Pain, discomfort and swelling may be slightly increasedwith infracture. The majority of patients tolerate infracture and are veryhappy with their surgical result. Ifyou’re considering rhinoplasty it’s important to consult a board certifiedplastic surgeon. This surgeon should be able to help you formulate anappropriate treatment plan.
Every nasal hump is different and this can be examined by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon on the best approach. In general, larger humps will necessitate breaking the nasal bones, while smaller humps may not.
In many cases, with a small bump no fracturing of the bone is required, but it's hard to know without an examination. If you do need an infracture, however, this is not something that should be feared as the procedure and the recovery are usually very straightforward.
A bump on the bridge of the nose is usually a combination of excess bone and cartilage in the area. In order to remove the bump, the bone must be reduced. This usually also requires reduction of the cartilage to maintain a smooth profile. Often, the nasal bones will have a small space between them when they are reduced. In order to close this space, the nasal bones muct be precisely fractured and repositioned.This is a very controlled maneuver. A well trained rhinoplasty surgeon can accomplish this with precision.It will only be done if nececssary. However, in most cases where bumps on the nose are reduced, it will be required.
I've noticed that many people on the web are seemingly most worried about the bones and having to "break" them. Fact is, the majority of the work, difficulty, and complications are related to the soft-tissue work of the tip and mid-third.The bones are, arguably, the least difficult part of the surgery and are not broken, but rather precisely cut and repositioned. Since the nasal bones are thin, just shaving them without cutting bone can create an "open-roof" deformity. And in contrast to fractures of the axial skeleton (arms, legs, etc.) the nasal bones are not particularly load-bearing and are not particularly mobile in the sense of muscles and joints. Thus, pain...which is probably most patients real concern...is not usually a major feature of the bony work.All the best,--DCP
If your nose-bump is large, you'll need an operation to remove it. That usually leads to widening of your nose, which may require in-fracturing to narrow the frontal appearance of your nose.If the bump is small, you might benefit from an Injectable Filler treatment above and below the bump to camouflage it's appearance.I've attached a link that demonstrates this Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty in a male patient.I hope this helps, and best regards.
If the bump is small then you will probably not need to have the bones fractured. But if it is larger then you will need this done so that the bridge won't be too wide.
Yes,Majority of the times a nasal bump (dorsal hump) is reduced by shaving off the cartilage part and then breaking (chiselling away) the bony part. After this step the top (dorsum) looks a bit flat. To make it look narrow like normal, the side bones are broken and pushed towards midline to achieve the narrow look.Only exception is when the dorsal hump is purely bony and very small. In those cases just sanding down (rasping) the hump might fix the problem. Regards
The answer is...maybe. A picture would help answer this question more definitively.Most humps of the nasal bridge are treated by removing excess convex bone, often times with a rasp. When the nasal bridge has been reduced , often the edges of the nasal bones become very prominent (open roof deformity). If that happens, the nasal bones need to be broken and pushed together.An evaluation by a board-certified plastic surgeon would help determine what specific maneuvers are needed to correct your nose. Best of luck!
The fullness you describe may be secondary to excess cartilage in the central part of the dorsum or excess bone in the upper 1/3rd of the nose. Rasping is usually used to correct a bony hump, although it is sometimes used to lower fullness in the cartilagenous dorsum. Therefore I'm not sure...
Hi A CT scan is not needed for a rhinoplasty whether the nose is crooked or not. CT scan is only needed for Facial bone issues and for Sinus issues. A crooked nose is a clinical diagnosis based on your surgeon's examination with his own eyes. Now, having insurance is not a bad thing in case...
It is very hard to determine specific issues related to another surgeon's work, especially without photos from before and after and an operative report. One question I would ask is if this a new deviation or a partially corrected/uncorrected persistent one? While I do not recommend pushing the...
