Surgical procedure
One technique is called closed rhinoplasty, which involves making an incision inside the nostrils and no external scars. This technique is suitable for smaller humps that are mainly composed of cartilage. The surgeon will carefully trim and reshape the cartilage to create a more even and natural-looking nasal bridge.
Another technique is called open rhinoplasty, which involves making an incision across the columella (the strip of skin between the nostrils) and lifting the skin off the nose. This technique allows more access and visibility to the nasal structures and is suitable for larger humps that involve both bone and cartilage. The surgeon will use a chisel or a rasp to shave off the excess bone and cartilage and then fracture and reposition the nasal bones to narrow and straighten the nose.
Both techniques have their advantages and disadvantages, and your surgeon will recommend the best one for you based on your anatomy and goals. The recovery time for rhinoplasty varies depending on the extent of the surgery, but generally you can expect some swelling, bruising and discomfort for the first few weeks. You will also need to wear a splint or a cast on your nose for about a week to protect it and help it heal.
