ANSWER Hump Nose
A hump nose has a raised mid-dorsum that makes the profile look angular and the impression stronger than intended. ANSWER Plastic Surgery goes beyond shaving the protruding bone and cartilage: the entire bridge line and the tip are refined together for a harmonious profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
QIs shaving the hump all the surgery involves?
Removing only the hump can leave the dorsum looking wide or out of balance with the tip. Depending on your condition, osteotomy or tip plasty is often combined to tidy the whole line; the needed scope is advised after diagnosis.
QIs osteotomy very painful?
The osteotomy area can feel sore and bruised for a few days, but this is usually manageable with prescribed pain control. Bruising typically fades over 1–2 weeks.
QCan the hump come back after surgery?
The removed bone does not grow back, but fine callus tissue may be palpable during healing. It usually settles with time, and we monitor the condition through follow-up visits.
