Cases of dorsal hump reduction are easier to understand when you look at the original nasal size and overall profile rather than focusing solely on the protruding area. In smaller noses, the surgical records show that we do not simply reduce the hump, but also address the overall volume. You can also read cases where facial asymmetry and the patient's desired nasal line were taken into account.
There are also articles detailing cases where, after smoothing down the dorsal hump, a silicone implant tailored to the shape of the nasal bone was placed on the bridge. Therefore, having a dorsal hump reduced does not mean the entire nasal bridge was lowered. When reviewing before-and-after photos, please refer to the original articles to see which areas were reduced and which were augmented, and whether tip reshaping or crooked (deviated) nose correction was performed simultaneously.

This is a primary rhinoplasty case correcting an irregular dorsal hump and an acute nasolabial angle. Using a closed approach, we refined the dorsal hump, performed nasal tip plasty with autologous rib cartilage, reconstructed the septum, placed a silicone implant, and corrected the nasolabial angle.
Performed or used in this surgery
Previously injected nasal filler was removed, the protruding dorsal hump was rasped, and lateral osteotomies were performed. The blunt nasal tip was elevated using autologous rib cartilage, and both the nasolabial angle and septum were corrected.
Performed or used in this surgery
A protruding dorsal hump, drooping long nose, crooked nose, and nasal obstruction were addressed together using autologous rib cartilage tip support, lateral osteotomy, septoplasty for a deviated septum, and inferior turbinate surgery.
Performed or used in this surgery
In a male patient in his early 20s presenting with a crooked nose, dorsal hump, and nasal obstruction, osteotomy, tip rhinoplasty using donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage, and columellar correction were performed.
Performed or used in this surgery
A dorsal hump and drooping tip were smoothly refined through a closed approach using autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, hump reduction, lateral osteotomy, and nasolabial angle correction.
Performed or used in this surgery
Nasal obstruction, a dorsal hump, and maxillary protrusion caused by a septum severely deviated to the left were addressed simultaneously through septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and nasolabial angle correction.
Performed or used in this surgery
For a male primary rhinoplasty patient with a bulbous, crooked nose with a dorsal hump, lateral osteotomy, cartilage tying, nasal tip plasty with autologous rib cartilage, and a customized silicone implant were performed.
Performed or used in this surgery
A crooked dorsal hump, drooping tip, and nasal obstruction were refined using lateral osteotomy, septal extension with donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage, nasal tip volume refinement with ear cartilage, and nasolabial angle correction.
Performed or used in this surgery
In a case where residual artificial dermis from a previous procedure formed a dorsal hump and weakened the septal support, the artificial dermis was dissected and removed, lateral osteotomy and dorsal hump reduction were performed, the nasal tip was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, and the silicone implant was replaced.
Performed or used in this surgery
A dorsal hump, drooping tip, and rhinitis-related nasal obstruction were addressed by resecting the hump, combining autologous rib cartilage and a silicone implant, and performing nasolabial angle and septal correction.
Performed or used in this surgery
For cleft lip- and palate-related asymmetry and alar deformities, septal reconstruction and dorsal augmentation were performed using autologous rib cartilage, along with alar reconstruction using ear cartilage and lateral osteotomy.
Performed or used in this surgery
A primary rhinoplasty case for a patient with a small, wide nasal tip, drooping, a minor dorsal hump, and chronic nasal obstruction, treated through gradual expansion accounting for skin elasticity, autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, and septal correction.
Performed or used in this surgery
A case of complete reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage after removing an L-shaped silicone implant and its calcified capsule inserted 30 years ago, which had caused a dorsal hump and a crooked nose.
Performed or used in this surgery
To resolve persistent nasal obstruction, a crooked nose, and a retracted columella following a prior surgery, complete reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage and septoplasty were performed.
Performed or used in this surgery
Considering congenital facial asymmetry and prominent brow bones, the dorsal hump was corrected with a 3D-printed custom implant, combined with nasal tip plasty using autologous rib cartilage and rhinitis surgery to achieve improvement.
Performed or used in this surgery
To improve a dorsal hump, crooked nose, and drooping arrow nose when smiling, autologous rib cartilage was used to reposition the nasal tip, combined with lateral osteotomy, septoplasty, and rhinitis surgery.
Performed or used in this surgery
To maintain the existing bridge line and address a crooked nose and dorsal hump without major changes, we performed implant-free rhinoplasty using autologous cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and rhinitis surgery.
Performed or used in this surgery
Correction of a residual dorsal hump and excessive nostril show 17 years after hump surgery using residual filler removal, lateral osteotomy, and autologous rib cartilage septal extension.

In cases where simply shaving down a dorsal hump could make an already small nose appear even smaller, our records show instances where the hump was corrected while addressing overall volume. These cases consider the overall size of the nose rather than just the hump protrusion itself. Even within the topic of dorsal hump reduction, it is helpful to compare the preoperative nasal height with the target profile line.
There are recorded cases where, after smoothing down an uneven dorsal hump along the nasal bridge, a silicone implant carved to match the shape of the nasal bone was inserted. These records show that both reduction and augmentation were performed within the same surgery. Rather than assuming dorsal hump reduction always means no implant or an overall decrease in height, please review the actual materials used and the specific dorsal bridge techniques.
