A nasal hump is a noticeable bump or raised area on the bridge of the nose, often seen from the side view. It usually develops due to an excess of bone, cartilage, or a combination of both along the nasal dorsum. The size and shape of a nasal hump can vary depending on genetics, trauma, or natural development. Although it does not typically affect nasal function, many people choose to address it to enhance facial balance and profile.
At Summit Plastic Surgery, we offer both surgical and non-surgical options. Rhinoplasty permanently reshapes the nasal bridge, while hyaluronic acid fillers provide a temporary solution by camouflaging the hump.
Yes. For many patients with a mild to moderate nasal hump, hyaluronic acid fillers offer a noninvasive alternative that improves the appearance of the nose without surgery.
Rhinoplasty provides permanent correction. Non-surgical filler treatments typically last nine to 12 months and can be repeated to maintain results.
Good candidates include healthy individuals who are unhappy with the profile of their nose and want to reduce the appearance of a dorsal hump. Suitability for surgical or non-surgical options can be determined during a consultation with Dr. Malotky.
Most patients tolerate rhinoplasty recovery well. While there may be swelling and mild discomfort for a few days, detailed aftercare guidance and follow-ups help ensure a smooth healing process.
