Question:
I have a nasal hump that I’d like to get rid of but I’m not ready for surgical rhinoplasty. Is there a non-surgical treatment option? Answer:
A visible nasal hump best seen on profile view is called a dorsal hump. If it is small and you have a depression in the upper portion of your dorsum (called the radix), sometimes an injectable filler could improve your profile temporarily. The fillers I use last approximately one year, but I very rarely use them for nasal contouring. This would be only a temporary fix. Surgery is the standard of care for correction of a dorsal hump. |
