Luisa had a closed rhinoplasty procedure to correct her narrow internal nasal valve, deviated septum and remove the hump on her nose. This is the footage from her surgery.

Enter the operating room as Rhinoplasty Specialist Dr. Paul Nassif removes a dorsal hump..

Shaping the bridge of the nose may involve reducing or augmenting its size or refining its shape. The bridge of the nose consists of both cartilage and bone. To reduce a hump on the nose, a surgeon will remove excess cartilage and bone and then refine the remaining tissues with a rasp, an instrument similar to a nail file. When removing a hump, most surgeons take a conservative approach, removing less cartilage and bone than they think is necessary and then making minute refinements until the desired result is achieved.

Luisa's before and after photos reveal a softer nasal appearance. She has also experienced improvement in breathing.

Closed rhinoplasty involves incisions which are confined to the inside of the nose. Though this results in no visible scarring, the procedure offers less visibility of the inside of the nose and is typically not possible for more complex cases. Hump reduction, on the other hand, can be performed with closed rhinoplasty.

Dr. Paul S. Nassif is a world renowned facial plastic surgeon in the Beverly Hills - Los Angeles area whose work has been featured on numerous international and national television and print media. He has been featured on such programs as ABC World News Tonight, CBS Morning News, CNN, MSNBC, NBC Evening News, EXTRA!, VH1 and Discovery Health. Dr. Nassif has also been quoted in such publications as the New York Times, Associated Press (world-wide), USA Today, and Los Angeles Times, among others.

  • I have a hige bridge on my nose, not sure if its a bridge or a cartilidge hump... i don't even know if i know what i'm talking about. I have excess cartilidge on my clavicle, so maybe i also have it on my nose? I don't know, help.

  • @fezzahoes Hello,

    Any issues you experience with your nose are unique to the nose and will not be influenced by other areas. Please feel free to send any photos of your nose to my office and I would be happy to evaluate them for you. Thank you for the message and I hope this helps.

  • i know this is a stupid question but what are the chances of someone waking up during a rhinoplasty surgery? cause i want to remove the dorsal hump in my nose and if i did get it removed this would be my first surgery

  • @clandestine3 Hello,

    This is extremely rare, and can be the result of not enough anesthesia. Thank you, and please feel free to ask me any specific questions about rhinoplasty surgery and I would be happy to answer them for you.

  • Hey, I have a pretty large dorsal hump which is primarily bone. But the tip of my nose is fine. My profile doesnt look to bad from the front but from the side its pretty ugly with such a big hump. The hump goes outwards aswell as upwards. Would my case most likely be solved with a closed rhinoplasty and how much would it cost to get the dorsal hump removed roughly?

  • @supersmithdaddy Hello,

    The cost of a primary rhinoplasty ranges from $10,000-$15,000. An examination would be necessary to determine whether or not the procedure would need to be open or closed. Please feel free to send any photos to my office and I would be happy to evaluate them for you and provide you with advice. Thank you for the message.

  • Hi, would it be possible to remove a small hump on the nose bridge (bone part, not cartillage) using closed rhinoplasty method, and still have no need to use an implant after that?

  • Around how much will it be to just to remove the hump

    Hello,

    A rhinoplasty would be necessary to remove a nasal hump. Please feel free to send any photos to my office and I would be happy to evaluate them for you. Thank you for the message.

    Hello,

    Trauma to the nose may adversely affect your breathing. It is a personal preference as to whether or not you would like to make any cosmetic changes. Thank you and I hope this helps.
