Dorsal hump removal

The dorsal hump is the most common reason people look into rhinoplasty and the easiest change to judge, because it lives in the profile. The preview removes the bump on your own side-profile photo, either to a straight line or to a gentle natural slope.

Compare with the slider, then look at the front view: hump removal can slightly widen the bridge from the front, and a good plan accounts for it.

What changes

The hump on the bridge, smoothed
The line from root to tip, made continuous
Tip support, so the tip does not droop after the bump is gone

Natural RefinedStraightSharp

What stays the same

Bridge height where it suits your face
Nostrils, lips, chin and expression
Your gender and ethnic character

Good to know. Preservation rhinoplasty, which lowers the bridge without removing it in pieces, is the technique most often discussed for humps today. The preview shows the outcome, not the technique; ask your surgeon which suits your anatomy.

Questions

Can a dorsal hump be removed without surgery?

It can be camouflaged non-surgically by adding volume above and below it, which makes the nose look straighter but slightly larger. Surgery is the only way to make the nose smaller.

Will removing the hump change the tip?

The tip can appear to droop once the hump is gone, so surgeons usually add tip support. The preview shows a balanced result with that accounted for.

Is hump removal a big operation?

It is one of the more predictable rhinoplasty procedures, usually done in a couple of hours. Swelling hides the final line for months.

Do I need a profile photo?

Yes. The hump is only visible in profile; the app also accepts a front photo for the second view.
