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.
Types of facial wrinkles
In cosmetology, it is customary to distinguish between dynamic and static types of wrinkles that form as a result of active facial expressions.
The first of them are visible only when the facial muscles contract, when a person, as they say, actively “talks” with his face - moves his eyebrows or raises them in surprise, smiles a lot. In a calm state, the skin looks smooth. This type of folds is typical of young people.
Static wrinkles are present on the face even in a calm state. There are several reasons for their formation. Firstly, in the absence of appropriate therapy, dynamic wrinkles turn into static ones. Secondly, age-related changes play a role: a decrease in skin elasticity due to slower collagenogenesis and less active production of hyaluronic acid by the body.
Cosmetologists also use gradation of wrinkles according to the depth of their occurrence:
- superficial;
- medium-deep;
- deep.
We all know that wrinkles most often form on the forehead and between the eyebrows. But even on the bridge of the nose, noticeable furrows are found in 30% of people over 40 years of age. They are usually horizontal in shape, while in the forehead area they can be transverse and vertical.
There is a common belief that facial wrinkles form in women earlier than in men. To some extent, this is true, because men's skin is denser, and in most men, skin aging occurs more slowly than in women. But here, too, everything depends on the characteristics of a particular person. There are often cases when overweight people turn to a cosmetologist with the problem of early formation of wrinkles.
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.
Cost of non-surgical nose correction
The method of changing the shape of the nose, used by our aesthetic specialists, costs much less than surgical rhinoplasty. Prices are presented in the table:
| Services | Prices |
| Restylane (1.0 ml) | 15800 rub. |
| Surgiderm 30 | 15,000 rub. |

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.
Surgical correction
The operation is performed closed or open. When closed , the incision is made along the edge of the nostrils in the nasal cavity and therefore the seams are completely invisible. But if the intervention is more extensive, then open access - then incisions are added, most often along the columella - a strip of skin at the bottom between the nostrils. The postoperative suture is so small that after some time it becomes almost invisible.
Alignment of the bridge of the nose. When performing saddle nose surgery, it is necessary to simulate a straight nasal bridge, filling the lack of tissue. For this, an autograft is used from the patient’s own cartilage tissue, which is taken from the rib, cartilage of the nasal septum or ear. If required, bone tissue and fascia are also used. Your own tissues take root better and gradually replace previously used silicone implants.
Correction of the tip of the nose. After restoration of the nasal septum and remodeling of the nasal dorsum, they move on to correcting the tip of the nose by changing the cartilage and soft tissues that form it. At the end of the operation, the nose is swabbed with gauze swabs or turundas, which are removed after 1-3 days, when the doctor deems it possible. A plaster bandage is applied to the nose, which is removed after a week.
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 solve a problem?
Modern cosmetology recommends taking care of preserving youthful skin from an early age. Preventive measures are always the most effective!
Starting from the age of 18, it is necessary to do moisturizing treatments both at home and with a cosmetologist. If facial expressions are very active, then for preventive purposes, from the age of 20-25, you can use botulinum therapy in small doses to prevent wrinkles from lying deep on the bridge of the nose. This is the injection of a drug based on botulinum toxin into the area of muscle tension, which relaxes the muscles. Mesotherapy - injections of therapeutic cocktails including hyaluronic acid, vitamins, antioxidants and other elements - contribute to maintaining the required level of dermis moisture, and, consequently, preventing the formation of folds.
With this approach, your skin will delight you with freshness and youth for a long time!
If the area of the bridge of the nose already has wrinkles, then the algorithm for getting rid of them will be different. Many people dream of finding a remedy that would help solve this problem at home. But this is a utopia - not a single cream or cosmetic oil, not a single mask will get rid of furrows on the skin if they have already formed.
Some people think that methods such as SMAS lifting or photorejuvenation can help them. But these technologies are not intended to eliminate existing wrinkles.
Thus, SMAS lifting is aimed at tightening the contours of the face and combating sagging tissue. This is an ultrasonic facelift; in our center it is performed using an Ulthera device (Altera) made in the USA. The effect is on the muscle layer. There is a targeted heating of the tissues, as a result of which they contract, the production of new collagen is stimulated and after some time the contours of the face are tightened.
This technique can also be used to prevent tissue aging. Ulthera therapy is carried out once every 1.5 - 2 years, has an increasing effect - the most pronounced result will be visible after 3-4 months. Some compare it with a surgical method of rejuvenation, but hyperkinetic folds, as expression lines are called in cosmetology, this rejuvenating technology will not completely remove.
Photorejuvenation evens out the texture of the epidermis, eliminates age spots and vascular formations. With the help of broadband pulsed light, a targeted effect is exerted on problem areas, while the surface of the dermis is not damaged. Our cosmetologists work using the Lumenis M22 device. This device is the result of the joint work of Israeli and American cosmetologists. After a course of procedures, the vascular network disappears (small vessels can be removed immediately), hyperpigmentation. The skin becomes clean and fresh! But this method will not help with wrinkles.
Chemical peeling will not help in this matter either. Its function is to exfoliate the stratum corneum. Peels based on various acids are used to even out complexion, treat acne, as a preparation for more serious procedures (phototherapy, laser rejuvenation), in combination with mesotherapy or biorevitalization.
The only method of wrinkle correction that has proven effectiveness is botulinum therapy. The most famous drug for this is Botox, which is produced by the American company Allergan. It has been used in aesthetic medicine since the 90s of the 20th century. However, now other botulinum toxins have become more widespread in cosmetology - Dysport (France) and Xeomin (Germany). The first is produced by IPSEN, the second by MERZ Corporation.
Botox, Dysport and Xeomin are muscle relaxants that block muscles in the desired area, thereby relaxing them. Thanks to this, the creases are gradually smoothed out. The main component of these botulinum toxins is botulinum toxin type A. The drugs are administered by injection, the whole procedure takes no more than 1 hour. The effect lasts on average from 4 to 6 months, after which the injections can be repeated. The volume of injections depends on the degree of facial activity and how deep the wrinkles have formed. If we talk about the back of the nose, then usually 5 to 10 units are placed at one or two points in each muscle. The exact amount will be calculated by the cosmetologist after the examination.
All three drugs are certified in the Russian Federation and have been used for many years. Which one will be effective in a particular case is decided by a cosmetologist during a face-to-face consultation.
Many are concerned about the safety of such a procedure and whether it is addictive. Decades of practice have proven that botulinum toxins do not cause any harm to human health, but there are conditions and diseases for which they cannot be used.
Prevention of wrinkles
It is quite difficult to prevent their formation on the face, but it is possible. Firstly, facial activity should be controlled. To monitor facial muscle contractions, it is recommended to look in the mirror more often.
For example, you can place it next to your workplace and note in what situations certain grimaces appear, so that you can then gradually try to avoid them, developing new habits.
Secondly, regular cosmetic care is necessary to nourish and moisturize the skin and relieve muscle spasms. Special facial massage techniques, mesotherapy and biorevitalization will help with this. Home care also needs to be given attention, using high-quality professional cosmetics - creams, serums, nourishing and alginate masks.
To select the most effective cosmetic products, we advise you to consult a cosmetologist who will diagnose your skin condition and recommend the best option. As for facial exercises (face lifting), there is no scientific evidence of their effectiveness yet. Of course, if folds on the bridge of the nose, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead have already formed, and you cannot get rid of them with the help of cosmetics and massage, more effective procedures are needed.
