Removing Nose Bump Without Breaking the Nose?
I am 20 years old and I have always felt insecure about the bump on my nose. I have been reading a lot about Nose surgery and I have heard people just getting it filed down without having to break the nose.
What is this called? What is the procedure? And what are the estimated costs?

Removing a Nasal Hump without Breaking the Nose
Yes, a bump can be removed without breaking the nose as long as the bump is not very large. If the bump is large, then removing it results in a flat contour to the bridge of the nose. This called an open roof deformity if it is not taken care of. To take care of this flat surface, the nasal bones are infractured to move them together to give a normal bridge. If the bump is not too big, it can simply be rasped/ shaved down while maintaining a normal bridge contour.... more

Removing Nose Bump Without Breaking
In some cases if the bump is small the bump may be filed down without any "breaking" of the nose. However, if the bump is large there are several areas of the nose that can be incorporated such as the dorsum, the tip of the nose, and the base of the nose that may need some adjustments along with the filing of the hump to make the nose and all of its parts look symmetrical to the face.

Filing down the nose without breaking the bones
Filing down the nose without breaking the bones is possible if the bump is not very large and removal of the bump doesn't make the bridge look too wide. If your nose is already average or wide and the bump is not small, it would be required to reposition (break in) the bony walls to make the bridge narrow

Hump Removal in Rhinoplasty
Although it may appear to be simple, a dorsal hump removal has many implications for the dorsum, as well as the tip of the nose. Just removing a nasal hump has other implications and may or may not require narrowing of the nasal base. Also, if one has an open roof/widened dorsum then one may need to have osteotomies (or breaking of the nose) to close the open roof, but it all depends on the width of the nasal base or how large the hump is. Obviously, this needs to be done by a Board... more

Nasal bones are reset when removing a large bump
If there is a large bump present, yes, nasal bones will have to be broken and reset because if you only file the bump down the nose will be left with a flat top and square top nose. If there is a small bump present, yes, just filing the bump down may be enough and the bones do not need to be broken.
Minimal Rhinoplasty
With rhinoplasty surgery we can do as little or as much as is necessary. I have removed a small hump without breaking the nose. It depends on the size of the bump. Consult with an experienced surgeon. You do not want to get rid of the hump, but make the nose look worse.

Subtle Rhinoplasty, Can a Nasal Hump be Removed Without "Breaking" the Nasal Bones
Hi Kathyrn, A small nasal hump may be removed without necessarily cutting or "breaking" the nasal bones. It really depends on the patients individual anatomy, and the surgeon's training and experience in rhinoplasty. In many practices it is termed "subtle or finesse" rhinoplasty. Many patients only require a small change, but are reluctant to consider rhinoplasty because they don't want a completely different nose, or "the nose" that a particular surgeon... more

Nasal hump removal
My answer is consistent with what other doctors have answered: A very small hump can be filed down without "infracturing the nose". If the hump is sizable and filed down without fracturing the nasal bones, the nose will appear too wide. Cost of rhinoplasty is highly regional and surgeon dependent...and thus has a wide price range.

Can be done without fracturing the bones, but unlikely
Removing the bump on the nose is part of a rhinoplasty. The nose is a complicated 3D structure. Changes in one part of it usually requires changes in another part. Sometimes, if the bump is very small, it can be filed down without fracturing the bones. However, most of the time, reducing the bump changes the shape of the bones. This requires fracturing and reshaping so that a normal, aesthetically pleasing shape is restored. Fracturing the bones is a very controlled and precise action. This... more

Rhinoplasty to Remove Hump From Profile
Removal of a hump on the bridge of the nose (dorsal hump reduction) can create a dramatic improvement in the profile. It is possible to remove only a hump from the bridge. This can be accomplished by rasping (filing down) the hump through incisions made on the inside of the nose (closed rhinoplasty). Usually, if the hump is large, the nasal bones must be surgically broken (osteotomies) to narrow the nose and close any gaps created after the hump is removed. If the hump is minimal, then... more

Nose bump
Filing down a small nasal hump or bump can be done without requiring nasal bone fracturing( breaking the bones). However, this is for very small humps. If the hump is large, the nose may look very flat. With this, in fracturing would be necessary.

Removing 'nose bump" without fracture
In 35 yrs.I can count the cases on one hand in which I did'nt have to fracture the nose to remove a "nose bump". This is done to reconcile the three dimensional relationships of the nose as it relates to the rest of the face. If it is not done the nose can have a pugilistic or pushed in look.

Details of Rhinoplasty
Yes, small bumps on the nose can just be filed down without having to "break the bones." If the bump is significant, the bones on the sides of the nose should be broken to narrow the width of the nose to avoid a "boxy" appearance. Shaving down the nose only is call "dorsal hump rasping." The costs vary, but are around $2-3000. Good luck!
It depends on the size of the bump.
If the bump is small sometimes we don't have to break the bones. But this is the exception, not the rule. See an experienced rhinoplasty specialist and let him guide you so you don't end up with a bad result--it's your face.
Removing the Bump with rhinoplasty
Dear OhKathrynn, I know it sounds great to do something "without having to break the nose", but it is not really a choice in some cases. If you have a small bump, removing it may leave your nose looking normal--and then the bones do not need to be broken. If you have a large bump, the reduction may leave an overly wide bridge, or even an "open roof" where you might feel ridges on the top of your nose. The simple way to understand this is to consider a pyramid. If you... more
Nasal Bump Removal with or without Breaking the Nose
Hi Katarynn, Noses do not always have to be broken after nasal hump removal. But - they often do. The extent of the nose hump, its make up (how much is cartilaginous , how much is bone), what deformity would removal of the hump leave in the nose (the issue of the open roof deformity), the width of the nose before surgery and OTHER considerations ALL act to suggest if to fracture (ie osteotomize) the nose or not. Even the way osteotomies (controlled chisel fractures) of the nose are done.
