1

What is a Dorsal Hump Reduction?

Dorsal Hump Reduction is a type of rhinoplasty (nose reshaping surgery) specifically designed to remove or reduce the bony or cartilaginous "hump" on the bridge of the nose. The goal is to create a smoother, straighter, or more refined nasal profile that is in harmony with the rest of the facial features.

2

What is the recovery process like after Dorsal Hump Reduction?

After Dorsal Hump Reduction, patients can expect some swelling, bruising around the eyes and nose, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. A splint or cast is typically worn on the nose for about one week. Most initial swelling subsides within a few weeks, but subtle swelling can persist for several months. Detailed post-operative instructions will be provided by CK Plastic Surgery.

3

Will a Dorsal Hump Reduction change the tip of my nose?

While the primary focus of Dorsal Hump Reduction is on the nasal bridge, reducing the hump can sometimes make the nasal tip appear relatively more prominent or upturned. If specific changes to the nasal tip are also desired, they can often be addressed concurrently during the same rhinoplasty procedure for a comprehensively balanced result.
