Reducing the size of the nose is one of the more difficult rhinoplasty procedures, as the bone and cartilage framework have to be reduced, combined with repositioning the nasal tip.

Common causes include previous injuries to the nose, or this appearance could be hereditary. Over-projected noses can result in the nose appearing more hooked and larger. Rhinoplasty surgery can correct both of these abnormalities of nasal tip . Under-projected noses can be corrected to help the nasal tip project further outwards by rotating the tip upwards. Rhinoplasty for an over-projected nose involves the surgical repositioning of the cartilage of the tip, which is often combined with reshaping bone located on the dorsum or nasal bridge.

Nasal humps are also known as dorsal humps and have a variety of different appearances from very mild to very prominent in appearance.

The procedure results in a significant improvement in the overall shape and contour of the nose with a narrowed nasal bridge.
