A nasal hump can significantly impact your facial appearance, often making your nose appear larger or more prominent than desired. Hump reduction rhinoplasty, also known as humpectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose by removing excess bone and cartilage from the bridge.
Hump reduction rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to refine the nasal profile by addressing a prominent bump on the bridge of the nose. This procedure can be performed on various nose shapes and sizes, and it is often combined with other rhinoplasty techniques to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing result.

A nasal hump is a bony or cartilaginous prominence on the bridge of the nose. To correct this, our experienced surgeons carefully remove excess bone and cartilage from the hump. Precision is crucial to avoid over-removal, which can lead to an unnatural appearance.
A Bump on Nasal Bridge
Removing the hump may sometimes leave an open roof on the nose, especially if the nasal bones are thin. Depending on the severity, we may employ different techniques:
The Open Roof of the Nose
2.1 Nasal Bridge Augmentation: Using implants like silicone or Gore-Tex to fill the open roof.
2.2 Nasal Osteotomy: Surgically narrowing the nasal bones to reduce the open roof’s visibility.
Nasal Osteotomy
2.3 Cartilage Grafting: Using autologous cartilage (typically from the nasal septum) to fill the open roof.
A droopy nose tip can be corrected by repositioning the alar cartilages. To prevent future drooping, a cartilage graft or muscle tightening may be necessary.
A Droopy Tip Correction
A low nose tip can be improved by adding cartilage grafts to the nasal tip, enhancing the angle between the nose and the upper lip.
The procedure typically involves the following steps:
Recovery and Results
After the procedure, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with medication. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. The results of hump reduction rhinoplasty are typically visible within several months as the swelling subsides.
