hump noseIt is an excessive uplift of bone and cartilage in the middle segment of the dorsum nasi, and the side is shaped like a "hump". The correction core isRemove excess bony/cartilaginous protrusions, and then smooth the dorsum of the nose into a coordinated curve through osteotomyMost of them also need to raise the tip of the nose and balance the overall line at the same time.slight humpHyaluronic acid can be used to temporarily improve the "filling transition" above and below the peak;obvious humpIt needs to be removed surgically, and injection alone will make the nose more bloated. The recurrence rate of standardized surgery is low, and the key is "sufficient subtraction and smooth osteotomy".
First, how is the hump nose formed?
The hump nose is mainly caused by excessive hyperplasia or development of the dorsum of the nose at the junction of the nasal bone and the superior lateral cartilage. It can be divided into:
- bony hump: Mainly nasal protrusion, hard texture, need osteotomy/bone grinding treatment.
- cartilaginous humpThe cartilage of the dorsal nasal is the main one, close to the tip of the nose, and the cartilage needs to be precisely trimmed.
- mixed typeBone and cartilage are both protruding, the most common, requiring both.
Many hump noses are also accompanied byNose tip drooping or aquiline tendency, looks more fierce. Therefore, hump correction is often not "simply grinding off the peak", but is designed together with the tip of the nose, which is why it is often completed within the nose comprehensive framework.

How to correct a hump nose
| Steps/procedures | effect | fit the situation |
|---|---|---|
| Hump removal (bone grinding/excision) | Removal of bony and cartilaginous protrusions | The core steps of various types of humps |
| Osteotomy (medial/lateral) | After removing the hump, close the "open roof" and narrow the smooth dorsum of the nose. | Bone/Mixed, Wide Back of the Nose after Peaking |
| tip forming | Lift the tip of the drooping nose, balance the lines | Trend with nose tip droop/hawk hook |
| Hyaluronic acid transition filling | Fill in a small amount up and down the peak, temporarily improving | Minor hump only, no surgery |

III. Recovery, relapse, and cost
Hump nose correction includes osteotomy, the trauma is relatively large, there is bruising and swelling in the early stage, and the dorsal line of the nose is usually gradual in 1 - 3 months, stable in about half a year. See the recovery rhythmRhinoplasty recovery scheduleStandard "peaking + osteotomy" has a low recurrence rate; if the first removal is insufficient or the osteotomy is not smooth, a small hump may remain or the dorsum of the nose is wide and needs to be repaired. The cost varies with the degree of hump, whether osteotomy is performed, and whether it is combined with the tip of the nose and nose. See the compositionHow much is a rhinoplasty?。

IV. FAQ
Q 1: Can a slight hump nose be operated on without surgery?
A: Yes. The slight hump can be filled with hyaluronic acid at the top and bottom of the peak for visual transition without surgery but needs to be replenished regularly; obviously the hump will only be more bloated by injection and still needs to be removed surgically.
Q 2: Is osteotomy necessary for hump nose correction?
A: Not necessarily. Simple cartilaginous small hump can be trimmed cartilage; when the "open roof" widens the dorsum of the nose after bony or mixed, peaking, it needs to be osteotomy closed and smooth, which is natural.
Q 3: Will hump nose correction recur?
A: The recurrence rate of standardized peaking and osteotomy is low. The residue is mostly due to insufficient first removal or untreated tip of the nose, which is not properly corrected rather than "grown back" and can be improved by repair.
Q 4: Will hump nose correction harm the nose structure?
A: Osteotomy to open the back of the nose, so it is more necessary for experienced doctors to control the removal amount and support of the back of the nose. Standardized operation can take into account the appearance and ventilation functions.
Q 5: Do the hump nose and the hook nose need to be handled together?
A: Often together. If the hump is accompanied by a drooping hook and curve at the tip of the nose, it will look awkward if only the peak is removed without lifting the tip of the nose. Usually the tip of the nose is formed at the same time.
Q 6: How much is hump nose correction?
A: There is no uniform price. It depends on the degree of hump, whether to osteotomy, whether to combine nasal synthesis and the level of the doctor's institution. It is recommended to quote according to the plan after face-to-face consultation.
