A humped nose, also known as a dorsal hump or a nasal hump, is a common feature that many people may have. A dorsal hump is a mix of both bone and cartilage. It is often a big source of discrimination and is characterized by a visible bump on the bridge of the nose, which can be caused by a variety of factors, such as genetics, injury, or underlying medical conditions. For the most part, a dorsal hump does not cause any health or medical issues. While some people may embrace their humped nose as a unique feature, others may feel self-conscious about it and seek ways to change it into a shape that they desire more.
What Is Hump Nose Rhinoplasty?
Hump Nose Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure where the hump of the nose is removed by plastic surgeons. The methods used for this procedure vary depending on the individual’s nose shape and the results that they want.

Here are some methods that the surgeon may do according to the patient’s needs.
Open Rhinoplasty
Open rhinoplasty is suitable for patients with a larger nose bump size and is the most common procedure done for this problem. In this procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the columella. The skin is then lifted to give access to the internal structure. This option gives surgeons a better visual view of the nasal structure, giving easier access and better movements for the surgeon. However, this is more invasive and will require a longer recovery period
Closed Rhinoplasty
This procedure is suitable for those who have minimal nose bumps and require minimal changes to their internal nasal structure. Instead of the incision being on the columella, the incision is made on the inside of the nose. Because the incision is inside the nose, the surgeon will have less visual access to the full internal nose structure. However, this procedure also leaves no visible permanent scar, which makes it quite popular.
Both open and closed rhinoplasty may require the surgeon to break the nasal bones, depending on the severity of the case, to reshape and mold the nose into a more desirable shape. Most of the bruising and swelling are the results of the fractures made to the bone. Book an online consultation now with Dr. Woo to know what option is best for you
Non-surgical Options for Hump Nose
