Hooked nose or bump on nose
A dorsal hump, known as a bump on the nose or a ‘hooked’ nose can cause dissatisfaction in the facial profile and affect self-esteem. A bump on the nose is caused by an excess of bone, cartilage or both. It can either be hereditary or as a result of facial trauma.
Using dermal fillers, a hooked or humped nose can be cleverly disguised with results that are instant, non- permanent and may negate the need for surgery.
How does treatment work?
Dermal fillers can create the illusion of a smaller, more balanced nose, including for a hooked nose or one with a bump, through a technique called non-surgical rhinoplasty. Here’s how they work:
Smoothing Bumps:
Fillers are strategically injected around the bump to fill in depressions, creating a smoother, more even contour along the bridge of the nose. This can help minimise the appearance of a hump, making the nose look straighter.
Refining the Tip:
In cases of a hooked nose, fillers can be placed in the nasal tip to lift and reshape it, making the angle of the nose more harmonious with the rest of the facial features.
Balancing Proportions:
By adding volume to specific areas of the nose, such as the bridge or tip, fillers can improve the overall proportions, creating the illusion of a smaller, more symmetrical nose.
This non-invasive treatment provides immediate results with minimal downtime and no need for surgery, offering a subtle and natural-looking transformation. Results are created using Teoxane Hyaluronic Acid fillers and are most visible for 9-12 months.
Can I have a non-surgical rhinoplasty if I’ve had previous surgery on my nose?
Yes, you can have a non-surgical rhinoplasty even if you’ve had previous surgery on your nose, provided your nose has healed fully and there are no complications. Non-surgical rhinoplasty with dermal fillers can be a great option to refine the shape, address any remaining irregularities, or enhance the results of previous surgery. However, it’s essential to have a thorough consultation with an experienced practitioner to assess the condition of your nose and determine the best approach. We will also consider any potential scarring, previous grafts, or structural changes before proceeding with treatment.
Can muscle relaxing injections improve the appearance of a bump in the nose or hooked nose?
Muscle relaxing injections can help improve the appearance of a hooked nose or bump by relaxing the muscles around the nose. For a hooked nose, they can be injected into the muscles that pull the tip down, subtly lifting it and creating a more balanced profile. While muscle relaxing injections won’t directly reduce the bump, it can enhance overall nasal symmetry, complementing other treatments like dermal fillers for smoother contours.
