Is it possible to remove dorsal hump only or would the tip also be required? (photos)

Thank you for your question and the photos you provided. It is possible to shave down the dorsal hump to create the profile appearance you’re looking for without reshaping the tip of the nose. The main goal of a rhinoplasty procedure is to create a balance between the nose and other facial features while adhering to each individual patient’s aesthetic goals. I recommend that you schedule an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can consider your desired results and develop the best approach to help you achieve them.

I agree with you that your nose has a good starting point. Reducing your dorsal hump would be a reasonable option in rhinoplasty. You may need some subtle tip refinement just so that it matches perfectly and maintains the overall shape that you are looking for. A full consultation with professional photos reviewed would be necessary to fully evaluate your nose and make recommendations.

Thank you for your question. During the consultation with our patients, we ask what their problems and expectations are so we can give them the best results they are looking for.
In your case, I do agree that removing the hump and giving your nose a nice slope will make you very happy. That way you will still have a natural-looking nose while fixing a minor issue that is bothering you. Thank you and have a great Sunday.
