I'm looking to, in the next year or so, get rhinoplasty to smooth my nose's side profile and remove the hump shape. I have attached a photo of my side profile so you can see the exact shape and size of the hump. What would be the best way and roughly how much would it cost? Thanks
Answer: Rhinoplasty for hump removal
The rhinoplasty procedure would involve hump removal and osteotomies to close an open roof deformity. A glabellar cartilage graft may be required to build up the highest point of the bridge. A nasal spine resection along with trimming back the caudal septum is needed as well. Please see the link below for our rhinoplasty photo gallery

Answer: Improving a "Tension type" nose
I agree that this is a classic "Tension type" nose. As my colleague has stated, the septum has to be detached from its bony support at the junction of your lip and nose (the anterior nasal spine) and modified accordingly. The spine itself should be trimmed in your case as well in order to correct the very obtuse naso-labial angle that you have. A cartilaginous dorsal graft extending to the radix (the junction of your nasal bridge and forehead) may be the easiest way to deal with the improvement of your profile once the septum is trimmed. Best of luck.
