Nose Hump Correction With Dermal Fillers

Sometimes it’s a feature you’ve always been aware of. Other times, it shows up with age or after an old injury. Either way, a nose hump — often called a dorsal hump — can throw off the balance of your facial features and leave you feeling less than confident about your side profile.

 

The good news? You don’t need surgery to change it. A non-surgical nose job, also known as liquid rhinoplasty, is a quick, low-risk cosmetic procedure that smooths out the nasal bridge using injectable fillers — with no downtime, no stitches, and no general anaesthetic.

So what causes a nose hump?

A nose bump or dorsal hump is a raised area along the nasal bridge. It can be:

 

  • Genetic – a trait passed down through your family
  • The result of previous trauma – like a break or injury
  • Caused by ageing – where the nasal shape and structure shift over time

 

Whatever the cause, many people feel their nasal profile looks unbalanced or too pronounced. Fortunately, with the right non-surgical treatment, it can be refined — quickly and effectively.

How do dermal fillers correct a nose hump?

 

It might sound counterintuitive, but to reduce a hump, we often add volume.

Using hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, the treatment subtly fills in the areas just above or below the bump, creating the illusion of a straighter nose without altering bone or cartilage. Here’s what happens:

  • Small amounts of filler are injected into precise points around the hump
  • The surrounding bridge height is balanced to camouflage irregularities
  • The result is an instantly smoother, more refined nasal shape

It’s a clever, non-invasive corrective procedure that enhances your facial profile — without changing your identity.

 

What’s the treatment like at Oracle Clinics?

 

The entire process is designed to be straightforward and comfortable. All liquid rhinoplasty treatments are performed by Nurse Ness Griffiths, a highly experienced practitioner known for her precision, honesty, and gentle approach. Here’s what to expect:

  • Consultation and assessment – we chat about your goals and examine the nasal structure
  • Numbing cream – applied to keep things comfortable
  • Precise filler placement – small amounts are shaped by hand for the best contour
  • Instant results – the whole thing takes about 15–30 minutes

You’ll walk out ready to resume your normal activities, with no bandages or bruising to hide.

 

How long do results last?

 

You can expect your non-surgical nose job results to last between 12 and 18 months, depending on:

  • Your body’s metabolism
  • The type of filler used
  • Lifestyle factors and whether it’s your first or a repeat treatment

Because we use hyaluronic acid fillers, the results are reversible and adjustable — giving you flexibility as your preferences or facial structure evolve.

 

The benefits of non-surgical nose hump correction

 

  • Non-invasive and no downtime
  • Immediate results with natural refinement
  • Reversible using hyaluronidase if needed
  • Helps achieve a straighter nose without surgery
  • Great for previewing changes before considering a permanent option

It’s a great choice for anyone who wants to refine their profile without altering their entire facial features.

 

Surgical vs non-surgical rhinoplasty: which is right for you?

 

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here. It really depends on what you’re hoping to achieve.

A non-surgical nose job works brilliantly for:

  • Visible humps or mild crooked nose appearance
  • Patients looking to avoid recovery or general anaesthetic
  • Purely cosmetic concerns without breathing issues
  • Those wanting a trial result before committing to surgery

Surgical rhinoplasty may be a better fit if:

  • The nasal bone is significantly misaligned
  • You’re experiencing breathing difficulties or structural issues
  • You want permanent change

During your consultation, we’ll go over both options honestly and help you choose what suits your goals best.

 

What about recovery and aftercare?

 

One of the best things about this non-surgical treatment is the quick recovery. You might experience minor side effects like redness or swelling at the injection site — but these usually settle within 24–48 hours. Aftercare tips include:

  • Avoiding pressure on the nose (including glasses) for 48 hours
  • Skipping high-impact or strenuous exercise for a day or two
  • Not applying makeup directly on the nose until the next day
  • Avoid touching or rubbing the area to protect the vascular structures

You’ll be given full, personalised aftercare instructions — and support, if needed, during your healing process.

 

Is this treatment right for me?

 

If you’ve been feeling self-conscious about a bump, hooked shape, or asymmetrical nasal bridge, this treatment might be the answer you didn’t know existed. This cosmetic procedure might be ideal if:

  • You’ve been self-conscious about a drooping nasal tip, hump, or asymmetry
  • You’re not ready (or willing) to undergo surgery
  • You want a fast, low-risk option that fits around your daily activities
  • You’re after a balanced, softer facial appearance without a dramatic change

And unlike surgery, if your goals or features change — your filler treatment can too.

 

Feel good in your profile again

 

It’s often the smallest tweak that makes the biggest difference.

If a nasal hump has been affecting how you feel about your profile, you don’t need to accept it or jump straight to surgery. Nurse Ness Griffiths brings years of experience and an artistic eye to every non-surgical rhinoplasty, helping you achieve natural, confidence-boosting results with honesty, care, and precision.
