Hump Reduction

Overview

Hump reduction smooths a bump on the nasal bridge for a straighter profile, often combined with narrowing of the bones (osteotomy).

Methods & types

• Filing/shaving the bony-cartilaginous hump
• Osteotomy to narrow and close the bridge
• Cartilage adjustment as needed

Who it’s for

• Visible dorsal hump on profile
• Wanting a straighter side view
• Sometimes with tip refinement

Recovery

• Splint about 1 week
• Bruising possible for 1–2 weeks
• Refinement over months

Approximate cost

USD 3,000–6,000

Ranges are rough estimates and vary widely by clinic, technique and individual case. Always confirm the exact price at consultation.

Considerations

• Over-reduction can look scooped
• Skin thickness affects the final line
