Is it possible to remove a hump on the nose at home?
The author of the Facebook building method, Carol Maggio, will answer unequivocally “Yes.” To do this you need to do special exercises. However, it is possible to reduce a hump on the nose only if it is completely cartilaginous, since bone tissue cannot be removed using gymnastics.
Carol suggests two exercises:
1) Tighten your hips, buttocks, and pull in your stomach. Grab the bridge of your nose with your index finger and thumb, then gently but firmly press down on your nose.
2) Press the tip with your index finger, lifting it. Hold this position for 8-10 seconds.
Each exercise must be repeated 35 times and done twice a day. Only then is it possible to eliminate the nasal hump. If classes are stopped, the effect does not persist.
How to choose the right glasses for your eyebrow shape?
In the last century, especially in the 70s, glasses with large light openings were popular. In some cases, only such optical products could be selected for vision correction. The upper part of the frame covered the eyebrows. This is acceptable if you wear large-rimmed sunglasses. Corrective ones should be more compact. They look unaesthetic if they cover the eyebrows. Of course, for a person with very narrow and light eyebrows, a high frame can replace them. But if your eyebrows are dark and thick, it is not recommended to hide them under glasses.
Correction of nasal hump with fillers
You can remove a hump on your nose with injections of special preparations based on hyaluronic acid. They are called “fillers” and are dense substances that are injected under the skin. Injections are made along the entire length of the back, thereby eliminating the disproportion and leveling the hump. Fillers fill all the holes and irregularities, they lift the tissue around the hump, so that it no longer stands out. The peculiarity of the method is that it can be used to correct small defects.
Fillers not only correct the hump of the nose, but also slightly change its shape if the client wishes and eliminate other minor imperfections:
- change the tip a little;
- smooth out small pits on the bridge of the nose;
- remove sharp corners of the bridge of the nose;
- straighten the back.
The effect lasts for 8-12 months, because the filler is gradually absorbed and removed from the body, and the original appearance is restored.
Contraindications
Like any procedure, non-surgical rhinoplasty has a number of contraindications. You must notify your doctor of any diseases, allergic reactions, or malaise. So, contraindications to non-surgical rhinoplasty:
- period of pregnancy and lactation;
- increased tissue bleeding;
- the presence of acute inflammatory processes in the body;
- elevated temperature, fever;
- infectious diseases;
- herpes (active form);
- decompensated form of diabetes mellitus;
- allergy to the drug used or its components.
Rhinoplasty - surgery to remove a hump on the nose
Plastic surgery is the most reliable and accurate method of removing a hump - cartilage or bone. Access can be open (through an external incision) or closed (through the mucous membrane). Plastic surgery is performed under general anesthesia and lasts 1-2 hours.

Main stages:
1) Opening the skin to access the hump.
2) Incision of the cartilage and its gradual removal.
3) Cutting the bone to the desired level, grinding.
4) Cutting the side slopes and then moving them to a new position to give the back a natural roundness.
We have described the main stages of open access surgery. When closed, the technique is slightly different. The method of intervention is always chosen individually, based on the characteristics of the patient’s nasal structures.
Advantages and disadvantages of non-surgical rhinoplasty
The non-surgical method of nose correction cannot be considered a full-fledged alternative to correction, since despite its attractive advantages, it has a number of features or disadvantages, which we always inform our patients about.
Advantages of non-surgical rhinoplasty:
- low invasiveness of the procedure. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is performed in a medical cosmetology office. Local anesthesia may be used if necessary; general anesthesia is not used. This type of rhinoplasty is bloodless, painless, and there is virtually no recovery period (swelling, pain);
- price. The cost of installing threads or injecting fillers in the nasal area is an order of magnitude lower than traditional surgery. You have the opportunity to save on an expensive operation;
- the opportunity to see the approximate result of a surgical operation. For example, raising the tip of the nose.
Disadvantages of non-surgical rhinoplasty:
- temporary effect (in most cases, the result lasts no more than a year, and repeated correction will be necessary). With a surgical operation, the result lasts for life;
- inability to greatly change the shape of the nose. Removing the hump, changing the width and size of the nose is impossible with this technique. Only a small “disguise” of existing problems is possible.
Laser removal of a hump on the nose
The ability to remove a hump on the nose with a laser is an excellent option for those who want to avoid major surgery and still get high-quality, lifelong results. The laser technique assumes that the directed beam is the same as a scalpel. It precisely cuts soft tissue where it is needed and acts on the hump, softening it for subsequent modeling. This method is suitable only if the defect is formed from cartilage.
Additional laser functions:
- Immediately “seals” blood vessels. Therefore, bleeding is excluded.
- Disinfects the surgical wound.
- Stimulates local regeneration processes.
Laser surgery is faster, the recovery period is shorter and easier compared to classical surgery.
How to choose the right glasses?
To choose glasses, you need to consider several factors:
- type or shape of face;
- individual features of appearance - large nose, wide eyebrows, deep eyes, etc.;
- skin and hair color;
- general clothing style;
- an indicator of visual acuity in the presence of a refractive error.
We’ll talk about what glasses are suitable for girls and men with big noses later. First, we will describe the rules for selecting optical products according to the shape of the face. This parameter is one of the most important from the point of view of aesthetic perception.
Possible consequences
The postoperative period largely depends on the work of the plastic surgeon.

Possible complications include:
- Deformation of the septum;
- Loss of smell;
- The beginning of the inflammatory process;
- Breathing disorders;
- Dry mucous membranes.
With complications, heavy bleeding is most often observed, swelling increases, body temperature rises, and headaches are possible. The appearance of any symptoms of complications requires urgent medical attention.
Often, any complications can be avoided if you follow the recommendations of the plastic surgeon.
When can you have surgery?
There are some health problems that can be treated and surgery can begin. These include:
- Colds and viruses.
- Inflammation in the sinuses.
- Rhinitis in the acute stage.
- If the patient is a minor.
At the same time, one should not forget about the individuality of each person, as well as the doctor’s opinion. All this is determined and identified when the patient first comes to see the surgeon. After this, the person is prescribed tests and some additional examinations so that the doctor has a complete picture of his state of health. It is clear that the procedure is serious and the approach to it is appropriate.
Types of eyebrows and glasses
The most ideal option is one in which the frame of the glasses follows the curve of the eyebrows. There are 5 types of them: smooth with a soft bend, straight, broken, arched and falling. How to choose a glasses model based on your eyebrow shape? Let us describe some patterns and rules.
If a person has eyebrows with a smooth and soft curve, rounded glasses are suitable for him. The choice of such frames is very diverse, so choosing optics will not be difficult. In this case, it is better to choose models that will exactly follow the line of the eyebrows.
People with straight eyebrows will benefit from glasses with a straight top line and narrow lens openings. You can try thicker frames, but not round ones. Straight eyebrows are more common in men than in women. Typically, in people with this feature, the distance between the crease of the eyelid and the brow ridge is quite small.
Broken eyebrows have a clearly visible bend. Actresses prefer to make them for themselves. This is believed to rejuvenate the face. As for glasses, you should opt for frames with rounded edges that are raised upward. Rimless models will also look good.
Arched eyebrows are more typical for women than for men. These girls have a more open look, and their eyes visually appear very large. What frames are suitable in this case? Stylists suggest paying attention to large, round-shaped glasses. They make the look very soft and feminine.
In people with drooping eyebrows, their lower corners are located significantly lower than their upper corners. This can make your face look tired or sad. This can be corrected with glasses. Choose a frame whose top is parallel to the rising line of your eyebrows.
The face immediately becomes cheerful and friendly. If you wear rimless glasses, the image will become somewhat mysterious.
Now let's find out which glasses are suitable for people with long or large noses.
Pre- and postoperative periods
Each doctor has his own opinion regarding preparation for surgery. He will describe in detail what medications you need to start taking a week before the operation. Usually, medications are prescribed to improve blood clotting, to strengthen the walls of blood vessels, and anti-inflammatory and decongestant medications.
But the list of what you should not do before surgery is usually the same: two weeks before surgery, you should exclude aspirin, vitamins that contain more than the daily requirement of vitamin E, and any medications, including herbs, that affect blood pressure. For several days you should avoid direct sunlight. It is also impossible for the operation to occur during menstruation. It is better to stop taking hormonal contraceptives 2-3 months before the expected date of surgery.
As for tests and examinations, their list varies depending on whether there will be general anesthesia or local anesthesia. In any case, you will have to undergo detailed blood tests, visit a therapist and have an ECG and fluorography done.
The operation itself lasts on average about two hours. Bruises will disappear from a week to a month, depending on the characteristics of the body. You will have to wear the cast for a week or two.
In general, after the operation you will have to undergo many restrictions: sleep only on your back and do not eat hot or cold for at least three weeks, take antifungal drugs and antibiotics, give up sports, sun and baths for two months, do not lift more than 5 kg. It is also better to avoid alcohol to avoid swelling. Sometimes you have to give up glasses for six months. And finally, you should not get pregnant for a year. Pregnancy causes hormonal changes that can have a negative impact on healing and scarring. After closed rhinoplasty, the healing process is completely completed after 5 months, after open rhinoplasty - after six months to a year.
Long nose and glasses
What glasses to choose if your nose is very long? If it is wide and short, we are looking for a frame with a high bridge. For a long nose, models with a low bridge are suitable. The lower the glasses sit on your nose, the shorter it appears. Barbra Streisand uses this tricky trick.
However, you need to select such glasses very carefully in size, otherwise they will constantly slide off your face. When purchasing, carefully check the condition of the nose pads.
There are some more tips for choosing glasses for women with large noses. Choose dark frames that distract some of the attention of others. You can also resort to makeup. Make your eyes more expressive and your lips brighter. Thanks to this, the impressive size of your nose will be almost invisible.
What is a hump and where does it come from?
The hump is a special area of the nose formed by bone and cartilage tissue. According to genetic predisposition and the influence of external factors, each person has different severity.
Quite often, this area is highlighted due to prolonged wearing of heavy glasses, which compress the area of the nose and contribute to its development. In addition, mechanical effects are of particular importance, namely injuries, bruises, blows and fractures of the nose. Because after such reasons, inflammatory processes, swelling or a violation of the integrity of the bones appear, which contributes to the formation of an unattractive hump.
Another, no less common reason is unsuccessful rhinoplasty. Very often people have to deal with a bad result and undergo a second operation. But in this case, you need to wait at least a year, because the soft tissues must grow together and recover so that complications do not occur during surgical intervention.
What other methods help?
Not everyone is ready for surgery, but they want to change their appearance for the better. What to do? Today there is laser rhinoplasty. The process occurs not with the help of a scalpel, but with a laser beam. But there is a limitation. The laser is used only on cartilage. But he can't handle bones.
The process itself takes place in such a way that the beam removes the growth and at the same time seals the damaged vessels. As a result, everything goes quickly and without blood. But aesthetic surgery is responsible for this. The procedure has its advantages:
- No scars.
- No anesthesia, local anesthesia.
- No big pain.
- Short rehabilitation period.
Today, even during a simple operation, a laser is used (for the incision) because healing occurs quickly after it. Only a doctor can decide what is best for a person to remove a hump from the nose. After all, everyone has their own reason for the appearance of a defect.
Some people know how to apply cosmetics so as not to show their flaws. If the hump is small, then this method will be quite appropriate. It is necessary to lighten and darken certain areas on the face. To do this, it is recommended to have the following on hand:
- Foundation, lighter and darker than your existing skin color.
- Powder that will be lighter than the foundation.
- Highlighter.
When all the components are at hand, you can begin the image creation process. The first is to apply a natural tone, after which the sides of the nose are powdered with highlighter. Light colors are applied to the bridge of the nose. But dark foundation is only needed for the hump. We'll have to try to make all the transitions invisible. Follow all steps carefully to give your face the desired result. Correcting a nose with a hump (photos of the results can be seen in our article) is not so difficult. Don't be afraid to do it for the first time. Each time all actions will be more thoughtful and correct.
What glasses to choose if you have a long nose?
There are many epithets that are used to describe a person's nose. These include: eagle, fleshy, Greek, Roman, hawk, upturned, etc. Men, as a rule, are not concerned with this. This problem often worries women. Many of them believe that a woman's nose should be neat, and not large, long or wide. Therefore, there is a desire to change your appearance. How to use glasses to make your nose attractive and hide its large size? Let's find out what the professionals say about this.
What do you need to know about the reasons for the appearance?
You can often hear that the main reason for a girl’s hooked nose is a hereditary factor. But situations are different, so this often occurs during life. But still, experts identify a number of main reasons:
- Heredity. This can go along the first line - parents, children. There are also nationalities in which the nose has its own shape.
- Getting injured. Since the nose does not have very strong bones, sometimes a small blow is enough to provoke the growth of cartilage. But we should not forget that the organ has a complex structure, and sometimes even injury is not necessary to obtain such a defect.
- Prolonged physical impact. A hump nose can appear after a person has worn glasses with heavy frames for a long time. This effect on the bridge of the nose leads to an increase in cartilage and a change in shape.
But why do you need to know the reason? The operation of the nasal hump will be prescribed taking into account the background history. Sometimes it is necessary to operate, otherwise nothing can be changed. Before you decide to get rid of the problem, you need to find a competent doctor so as not to worsen the situation.
