The SurgeryRhinoplasty surgery is the name for a group of operations. Each component is chosen and modified for your specific nose. Many different three-dimensional problems can be addressed by such sculpting. Some inherit their nasal shape, while others get theirs from trauma and injury. Many patients also need breathing obstruction issues addressed. Not all patients are aware of their nasal obstruction. During my consultation with you I try to learn what your concerns are and help you learn what surgery realistically has to offer.
A dorsal hump can be reduced from inside the nose as in an open rhinoplasty or from the open rhinoplasty exposure. Bone can be sculpted (with files, electric burrs, or razor sharp chisels) removing excess on the top. Cartilage can be also modified with small scalpels (knives) or scissors.
Here is the underlying nasal hump anatomy. This deformity had both bone and cartilage components. After removing the hump from an open rhinoplasty exposure, there was enough of a flat spot that the nasal bones had to be moved together. This nose also needed reduction at the radix, internal septal work, shorting, and tip revision. See more surgical details below in the link section.
