Question: "I like my nose. I like the size, length, shape. I'm happy with my nose in every way except for a small pesky bump on the bridge. Would it be possible to remove the small bump only? Would it be possible to do a closed rhinoplasty? What is the average cost for a minor change like this one?"


Answer: "Yes, a hump on the bridge can be removed with a closed rhinoplasty, where all the incisions are hidden inside of the nose. At our practice, we charge between $7000 and $9000 for the rhinoplasty procedure with anesthesia at a credentialed facility."
