Lesson 1Dorsal hump reduction maneuvers: rasping, guarded osteotomy, component resection, preservation techniques (let-down/let-in)This part deals with back hump shrinking, comparing filing, safe bone cuts, and part removal with keep methods like let-down and let-in, focusing on smooth back lines and stopping open roof or V-shape issues.
