Will A Nose Job Get Rid of the Hump On My Nose?

There are over 6 billion people on planet earth and every one of them has a different nose. Some noses have a hump, some noses have a slope and a few noses are straight. This blog entry addresses those who want to learn more about removing their hump, also known as a dorsal hump.

I have good news for you if you have a hump on your nose; this is the easiest nose to operate on. Because of the starting point, I have more to work with and can create different shapes through surgical artistry. This allows me to reduce the hump, flatten the hump, or even give you a slight slope.

Before you schedule a consultation with me or another surgeon, I recommend that you collect pictures of up to 10 noses that you like so we can talk about your goals and options. Additionally, I encourage you to enjoy the video below which will help you see what is possible for you.  In the video, I also answer the most common questions nose surgery patients have during pre-surgery consultations.
