Overview of Nasal Hump Reduction Surgery in Washington DC

Nasal hump reduction in Washington DC from Dr. Rad creates a straight nasal profile from the bridge to the tip by removing a hump from the bridge of the nose. This type of aesthetic imperfection is often called a bump, a nasal hump, or a dorsal hump.

Nasal humps are typically composed of a combination of cartilage and bone. They can distract from an otherwise attractive face. This form of rhinoplasty surgery allows the dimensions of the nose to be balanced and in harmony with the rest of the face.

 

Am I a Good Candidate for Nasal Hump Reduction?

Dr. Rad does not accept patients seeking an extreme makeover or the looks of another person. He performs the nasal hump reduction procedure specifically for patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their nose due to the presence of a dorsal hump.

The best candidates for this type of nasal surgery have realistic expectations in terms of results and are in good health. Smokers must quit smoking several weeks before the procedure and most avoid smoking during the healing period since smoking can lead to several complications.

 

How Does Dr. Rad Approach Nasal Hump Reduction?

Nasal Hump Reduction Washington DCThe shape and size of the nose should balance and harmonize with the rest of the face. A nasal hump can often distract attention from an otherwise attractive face.

In the nasal hump reduction procedure, Dr. Rad removes the hump thereby creating a straight nasal profile from bridge to tip. Cartilage and bone are removed from the hump, and cartilage and tissue grafts are placed to create a straight profile. 

Dr. Rad uses a ‘closed’ approach with hidden incisions on the inside of the nostrils. In the closed technique, results are as good if not better than via the open technique, there is no visible scar across the base of the nose (as there is in the open technique), recovery lasts only 10-14 days, and swelling after surgery is minimal. The closed technique is the most elegant approach to rhinoplasty.

In some cases, a dorsal hump can be minimized with non-surgical techniques like dermal fillers.

Q+A

WHAT CAUSES A NASAL HUMP?

A nasal hump typically forms due to genetics. In some cases, nasal trauma can also be a cause of a nasal hump, especially if the injury occurs before puberty.

WHAT ARE MY NON-SURGICAL OPTIONS FOR NASAL HUMP REDUCTION?

Injectable dermal fillers are excellent temporary treatments to mask a small dorsal hump or to increase tip projection.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR NASAL HUMP REDUCTION?

Before the date of your nasal hump rhinoplasty, it will be important to avoid NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). NSAIDs reduce the blood’s ability to clot and can lead to increased bleeding and post-surgical bruising. Certain supplements can also lead to this issue, so you will need to discuss all medications and supplements during your consultation.

WHAT ARE GRAFTS?

Rhinoplasty grafts are sections of tissue often used to bolster the internal nasal architecture during rhinoplasty surgery. They are typically made using cartilage from the patient’s ear, septum, or rib, and they are shaped to the required dimensions.

WHAT IS RECOVERY LIKE AFTER NASAL HUMP REDUCTION?

Pain is rare following nasal hump reduction surgery. The most common sensation is temporary nasal congestion. Swelling and bruising are common and will ameliorate over 7 to 14 days. Keeping one’s head elevated is recommended. Patients can often go back to work or go to social outings about 2 weeks after the surgical session.

HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?

The results of nasal hump reduction surgery are permanent, and a nasal hump cannot reform. The final results will not be visible until all bruising and swelling are gone. Once they have fully ameliorated, you will be able to enjoy the results of the procedure.
