Full Rhinoplasty: A large nose will require more than just a bump removal. When removing excess bone and cartilage from the nasal dorsum(bump area), this will cause changes in other areas of the nose. An experienced surgeon will recognize potential problems in tip support, width of the nose, and dorsal support. A detailed consultation is required before exact recommendations.

Your decision: Nasal features that bother you (only) can be addressed by hump reduction or shaving depending on extent of problem. If the size of the nose or the bump bothers you, see a couple of physicians who can provide help. Many use computer video imaging to offer you a chance to see what the changes of mild to major would look like on your face. Helps establish the treatment goals for both you and md.

CONSULTATION first: Get a consult to discuss all the options. Surgery may not be advised at all.

Get computer imaging: Computer imaging is a useful adjunct to the consultation to make such a decision.

If that opinion was : Was offered gratuitously, get new friend. Any asps or asaps surgeon should be able to advise you with or without computer imaging (which can give a false sense of what's possible). Cheek or chin augmentation may be recommended as well.

Need consultation: It's hard to say what level of rhinoplasty is best for you without seeing you. A lot depends on whether your tip could be refined. Also, if your nasal bones are wide it may be advisable to narrow the bones as well. http://www.rhinoplastyinseattle.com/rhinoplasty-treatments/hump-on-nose.

Shave vs Full Rhino: If you have a big nose, then it's probably not just the bump that is the problem. A large hump holds up the tip, something called a "tension nose". Reducing it causes the tip to fall, creating an unattractive, long appearance. See a board-certified surgeon that can help you decide through consultation, exam and photo imaging.
