Is it possible to get the bump on my nose shaven without changing anything else and without breaking it? I like my nose but I hate the bump and I really really really want to get rid of it but I don't want to change anything else. I like my nose shape and tip from the front but hate how it looks like for the side. Thanks in advance!
Answer: Nasal hump removal only It is possible to only remove the nasal hump and not change anything else. The only thing you have to be aware is that after removing the hump the nose can appear flat. To prevent that problem, we usually bring the side walls closer (osteotomies and infracture). It can sometimes make the nose like a little narrow but the effect is so subtle that you will likely not notice it at all.RegardsDr. JDisclaimer: This answer is not intended to give a medical opinion and does not substitute for medical advice.

Answer: Shaving nasal bumps The bridge of the nose is shaped like a pyramid, and, as a result, the more you remove, the wider it looks on the frontal view. Small bumps can be shaved down without any other changes being made. After removing larger bumps, the nasal bones need to be narrowed so that the nose does not look too wide.

Ask to see before and after photographs and consider obtaining second and third opinions before you make any decisions. This is a procedure in which the best chance of obtaining an excellent result is the first time around. Trust your face to a board-certified facial plastic surgeon or a board-certified plastic surgeon with very extensive rhinoplasty experience.

Answer: Finesse Rhinoplasty Changes The answer is - yes - in some cases you can just shave the bump with conservative shaving of the side walls of the nose to create a more desirable shape. Although in many cases hump reduction also requires breaking the bones, there are definitely cases where this is not necessary. Consult with an expert nose surgeon in your local area. Good luck.
