An overbearing dorsal hump on the nose can be distracting and pull vision away from eyes, lips and other features on the face. Taming the hump and sculpting the nose can make a significant difference in the harmony of the facial features, creating a more attractive appearance. For slightly humped noses or bridges with small bumps, non-surgical options like dermal filler injections can be used to smooth the nasal bridge. However, non-surgical treatments cannot make the nose smaller, they only add volume to reshape the nose.
Dorsal Hump Rhinoplasty
When larger bumps or humps exist on the nose, surgical rhinoplasty is required for removal. Many dorsal humps can be removed with closed rhinoplasty, which places the incisions inside the nostrils for a very discreet scar. During the procedure, the excess bone or cartilage is removed, and the nose is carefully reshaped to achieve the desired size and appearance. For more extensive humps that extend the length of the bridge, open rhinoplasty may be required, placing the incision on the columella for better access to the entire nose structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can non-surgical rhinoplasty permanently fix a dorsal hump?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty using fillers is a temporary solution that smooths out minor bumps. For permanent results, surgical rhinoplasty is required.
Will my breathing be affected by dorsal hump correction?
No. In fact, Dr. Sedgh’s meticulous surgical techniques ensure that nasal function is preserved or even improved in cases where breathing is already compromised.
What is the cost of dorsal hump rhinoplasty?
The cost varies depending on the complexity of the procedure. A detailed estimate will be provided during your consultation.
Will there be visible scars after surgery?
With closed rhinoplasty, incisions are hidden inside the nostrils. For open rhinoplasty, the small incision on the columella typically heals well and becomes virtually invisible over time.
How long do non-surgical rhinoplasty results last?
Results from dermal filler injections typically last 6–12 months, depending on the type of filler used.
