Nose Hump and Tip Deformity
A nose hump (‘dorsal hump’) is often genetic, but may also form as a result of trauma to the nose. When the hump is in the upper region of the nose, it is likely made of bone, when it is lower down, it more likely consists of cartilage. This can be treated surgically (rhinoplasty) or non-surgically using dermal filler. Dermal filler can also be used to correct the appearance of a drooping nasal tip, or asymmetrical or wide-looking nose. The principle of dermal filler nose correction is to change the proportions and definition of the nose in order for it appear straighter, narrower and more lifted.
Treatment Options
Dermal filler is a substance made of hyaluronic acid that is injected into skin and is excellent at improving definition and smoothening irregularities. It can be very effective in treating a nasal hump, making the nose appear straighter and less bumpy. It can also be injected around the nasal tip and base of the nose, to make the area appear smoother, more symmetrical and lifted. Dermal fillers can have different structures and consistencies that make them more suitable for treatment of different areas. For example, when treating the nose, we use a filler that is firm and smooth in order to shape and define.
