I have a deviated septum and a dorsal hump more noticeable on one side, a bulbous tip and a wide nose. Is it possible to achieve unnoticeable results by reducing the hump but not eliminate it completely? Could the same be achieved for the tip?

Answer: Rhinoplasty Based on your description, you would ideally like the hump reduced, nose narrowed, and tip more refined. Depending on the size of the hump and amount of reduction you wanted, it may not be noticeable. It would be hard to determine without at least photographs. With reduction of the hump, there may be a gap between the bones of the nose, which can be closed by breaking the bones. This would result in correction of the hump while making the nose narrower. The tip can also be made more refined; however, the size and definition of the tip is influenced by the cartilage and thickness of the skin. I would recommend consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a thorough evaluation and to discuss your goals.
