A dorsal hump is a bump or convexity on the nasal bridge visible from profile, formed by an excess of bone and cartilage.

Dorsal humps are most often hereditary but can also result from injury. They are one of the most frequent reasons patients pursue rhinoplasty.

Dr. Kim personally reduces the dorsal hump by precisely shaving the cartilage and, when needed, performing osteotomies to refine the bony bridge. The result is a smooth profile while preserving structural integrity and breathing.

Dr. Kim brings dual-continent training (Brown University, Seoul) and an artistic eye to every consultation. Schedule a personal consultation to discuss whether Dorsal Hump Reduction is right for you.
