The dorsal hump nasal malformation is a frequent cause of low self-esteem and shyness. Because these humps usually appear as part of the bridge of the nose, most of them are made of cartilaginous tissue and bone. Plastic surgeons know to use rhinoplasty to remove this type of nasal issue.
Cartilage removal will be necessary when correcting a dorsal hump. Removing cartilage can make the nose look very flat and thus wider, so it’s also necessary to excise bone. Cutting away bone from the bridge narrows the area, correcting the proportions of the nose.
