Brave patients who decided to remove the hump on their nose. Before and After Photos

Is it possible to remove a hump on the nose at home?

The author of the Facebook building method, Carol Maggio, will answer unequivocally “Yes.” To do this you need to do special exercises. However, it is possible to reduce a hump on the nose only if it is completely cartilaginous, since bone tissue cannot be removed using gymnastics.

Carol suggests two exercises:

1) Tighten your hips, buttocks, and pull in your stomach. Grab the bridge of your nose with your index finger and thumb, then gently but firmly press down on your nose.

2) Press the tip with your index finger, lifting it. Hold this position for 8-10 seconds.

Each exercise must be repeated 35 times and done twice a day. Only then is it possible to eliminate the nasal hump. If classes are stopped, the effect does not persist.

Contraindications to nasal hump removal

• Oncology;
• Diabetes;
• Chronic diseases in the acute phase;
• Bleeding disorders;
• Pregnancy, lactation.

Correction of nasal hump with fillers

You can remove a hump on your nose with injections of special preparations based on hyaluronic acid. They are called “fillers” and are dense substances that are injected under the skin. Injections are made along the entire length of the back, thereby eliminating the disproportion and leveling the hump. Fillers fill all the holes and irregularities, they lift the tissue around the hump, so that it no longer stands out. The peculiarity of the method is that it can be used to correct small defects.

Fillers not only correct the hump of the nose, but also slightly change its shape if the client wishes and eliminate other minor imperfections:

• change the tip a little;
• smooth out small pits on the bridge of the nose;
• remove sharp corners of the bridge of the nose;
• straighten the back.

The effect lasts for 8-12 months, because the filler is gradually absorbed and removed from the body, and the original appearance is restored.

Reasons for the formation of a hump

A hump is a formation on the back of the nose, consisting of bone and cartilage. Their ratio, as well as the size of the protrusion, depend on the individual characteristics of the person. As a rule, it is clearly visible in profile, but there are people whose thickening is located on the sides of the bridge of the nose. The main reasons for the formation of a hump are:

• heredity and national predisposition (a specific shape of the nose is characteristic of Caucasian peoples; as a rule, it goes well with other facial features);
• consequences of a nose injury: fractures, cracks, blows to the bridge of the nose.

How to remove a hump on your nose? This question is asked by most owners of an “eagle” nose. A small defect can be temporarily hidden with fillers, but a significant protrusion can only be removed during surgery. No massages or pseudo-medical devices will get rid of the problem; a good plastic surgeon can finally deal with it.

Rhinoplasty - surgery to remove a hump on the nose

Plastic surgery is the most reliable and accurate method of removing a hump - cartilage or bone. Access can be open (through an external incision) or closed (through the mucous membrane). Plastic surgery is performed under general anesthesia and lasts 1-2 hours.

Main stages:

1) Opening the skin to access the hump.

2) Incision of the cartilage and its gradual removal.

3) Cutting the bone to the desired level, grinding.

4) Cutting the side slopes and then moving them to a new position to give the back a natural roundness.

We have described the main stages of open access surgery. When closed, the technique is slightly different. The method of intervention is always chosen individually, based on the characteristics of the patient’s nasal structures.

How is surgery to remove a hump on the nose performed?

The operation is performed under anesthesia to minimize the patient's discomfort. The intervention consists of several stages.

• Provides access to the internal structures of the nose. To do this, incisions are made inside the nose and the tissue is partially peeled off.
• Cutting off the hump. A scalpel is used to remove excess cartilage, and the bone part is removed using an osteotome instrument. Thanks to good sharpening, it is able to cut even strong bone. The blade has special stops on the sides that protect other tissues. With its help, the surgeon carefully aligns the back. In this case, the bones are not broken, but rather cut off, due to which the tissues are quickly restored.
• Other corrective manipulations. After removing the hump, the doctor works with the wings of the nose and its tip, making the shape harmonious. Some narrowing of the nasal bridge is also required so that after removal of the osteochondral protrusion it does not appear too flat and wide.
• Completing the operation. The tissues are sutured. A plaster bandage is applied to the bridge of the nose.

There are people who have a slight hump. As a rule, these are men. Most of the rest want to get rid of this problem. Surgeons at the Beauty Institute are ready to help solve this problem. Vast experience, modern technology and high-quality tools - all this guarantees excellent results.

Laser removal of a hump on the nose

The ability to remove a hump on the nose with a laser is an excellent option for those who want to avoid major surgery and still get high-quality, lifelong results. The laser technique assumes that the directed beam is the same as a scalpel. It precisely cuts soft tissue where it is needed and acts on the hump, softening it for subsequent modeling. This method is suitable only if the defect is formed from cartilage.

Additional laser functions:

• Immediately “seals” blood vessels. Therefore, bleeding is excluded.
• Disinfects the surgical wound.
• Stimulates local regeneration processes.

Laser surgery is faster, the recovery period is shorter and easier compared to classical surgery.

Methods for removing a hump on the nose

• Surgical method (rhinoplasty). Hump ​​nose surgery can change both the shape and size of the nose.
• Non-surgical rhinoplasty (contour plastic surgery). It consists of introducing a special gel – filler – into the required area of ​​the nose.

The operation to correct a nasal hump takes place in several stages:

• Separation of soft tissue from osteochondral structures;
• Removal of the necessary part of the nasal septum and cartilage;
• Correction of bone structures (humps);
• Stitching.

Example of nasal hump plastic surgery

Operation

The hump has a bone-cartilaginous basis; it is a congenital feature of the shape of the nose or acquired as a result of injury. Rhinoplasty to remove a hump can be performed using a closed or open method.

With the open method , incisions are made inside the nostrils along the edge and along the columella - the lower skin part of the nasal septum. Subsequently, the thin seam on it is almost invisible.

With closed access , all incisions are made in the nasal cavity, that is, no traces are left outside at all.

Next, the skin is separated from the osteocartilaginous base of the nose. The surgeon performs an osteotomy - correction of the shape of the bony skeleton of the nose, the cartilaginous part, and, if necessary, plastic surgery of the tip of the nose, achieving the best aesthetic result and free nasal breathing for the patient in the future. Places cosmetic stitches, which after a few months will become almost invisible.

Result

Rhinoplasty is a complex operation that requires recovery time. The intermediate result of rhinoplasty can be assessed six months after the operation, and the final results of rhinoplasty can be assessed after about a year.

Rhinoplasty of the nose with a hump was performed by otorhinolaryngologist I.A. Usachev.

After rhinoplasty

At the end of the operation, tampons or turundas are inserted into the nose (for 2-3 days), and a plaster bandage is applied to the nose (for a week).

The patient remains in the hospital for 2-3 days.

Then he is discharged home and visits the doctor with the frequency recommended by him.

After surgery, swelling forms in the nose and eye area, which lasts 10-20 days.

On average, you can return to work 2 weeks after the cast is removed.

The rehabilitation period requires compliance with certain rules:

• Avoid physical activity for 2-3 months.
• Stop wearing glasses for 2-3 weeks so as not to touch your nose.
• Do not eat cold or hot food, so as not to provoke bleeding.

Hospital inpatient

• After the operation, patients are accommodated in single or double hospital wards, where all conditions are created for them to have a comfortable stay and a speedy recovery.
• The wards are equipped with functional beds, each of which is supplied with medical gases (oxygen).
• Each patient has an individual vital signs monitor.
• The menu takes into account all the doctor's recommendations.
• The room has a shower.
• Each patient has an individual TV with headphones.

Rehabilitation after surgery:

Immediately after rhinoplasty, a plaster splint is applied for 7-10 days , which fixes the new shape.

On the first day after the procedure, there will be turundas in the nostrils that maintain the shape of the internal structure. When they are removed, the nasal passages are regularly treated with special ointments so that healing proceeds faster.

Even after the cast is removed, it will still be difficult to breathe freely through your nose, because the postoperative swelling has not yet completely gone down. It happens that full recovery takes from several days to several weeks. What does this depend on?

• From the complexity of the surgical intervention
• From the patient's obedience
• Depending on the age of the person and the characteristics of his body.

Removal methods

When visiting a clinic, most patients want, if possible, to avoid major surgical intervention, which entails a long rehabilitation period that imposes some restrictions on their usual life. The main treatment method is osteotomy - an operation during which bone tissue is cut to bring the bones closer together.

This manipulation is considered a global intervention in the structure of the nose, so there are alternative techniques that eliminate osteotomy and eliminate cosmetic defects.

Surgical resurfacing

Interference with bone tissue can be avoided if surgery is performed to remove the hump using resurfacing. To do this, a special surgical instrument, a raspatory, removes excess cartilage tissue and smoothes the protruding bone. In cases where the hump consists exclusively of cartilaginous tissue, laser resurfacing is used - for osteochondral tissue it is useless.

The method is an excellent solution for small defects, when there is no open lid and there is no need to narrow the nose or correct the tip. The hump can be removed without destroying the bones by osteotomy.

Filler injections

It is worth noting that this option is not aimed at eliminating the defect. The essence of the method is to straighten the contour of the nose, thanks to a special filler pumped through a thin needle.

The technique is very gentle and takes 10-15 minutes. There is no need for surgery, recovery, or general anesthesia. But the procedure also has disadvantages. The first, which follows from the very essence of the method, is that the hump is not removed, but masked.

It is also impossible to make additional corrections to the nostrils or reduce the size of the nose. Secondly, the result of the injections is temporary – the procedure must be repeated after 12-18 months.
