Do I need a nose job? (Photos)

Question

I'm 24 year old, never had any procedure, my only problem is a slight hump on the top of my nose, it is small but I hate it. Is there any way it can be only rasped under local anesthesia without breaking my nose and having a big surgery? And as a plastic surgeon do you consider my nose to be nice looking or does it need work done ?and is my tip lifted or does it need lifting? I need your advice please

Just taping the bridge accomplishes very little in my opinion. Also I think your nose looks good. I wouldn’t touch it

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question the operation I will recommend to you will definitely be an open rhinoplasty operation under general anesthesia, both permanent result and it is possible for the surgeon to easily see and intervene in every area.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

Based on your photos, it might be reasonable to start with an injectable filler procedure to camouflage your small dorsal hump. If you are looking for a permanent result, depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections may be considered. Thank you so much for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

It is very likely, based on these photos, that you may be a candidate for reduction, rasping of small hump in local
Anesthesia. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in rhinoplasty is recommended. Good luck.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a rhinoplasty. This should only be done under general anesthesia never under local anesthesia. Cases performed under local have a very high rate of revision. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Given that you are bothered by the small bump (dorsal hump), then you should consult with a rhinoplasty surgeon to discuss options.
A surgical rhinoplasty is certainly an option. If that's all that is done to the nose, shaving the bump, this may be able to be done under local anesthesia or with IV sedation in an office, but you'll need to discuss this with your surgeon explicitly. Not all surgeons offer this.
Additionally, you could consider filler to the nose as an alternative way of masking the hump. This may be a nice alternative as a way to start and "try on your new nose."

The photos you submitted are very limited in views and scope. However from the limited views your nose appears quite attractive and not needing surgery. If you are very concerned though, I would suggest having an in-office consultation with a Board Certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience performing rhinoplasty. Good luck!
