Will a Bump on my Nose Heal over Time?

Question

I was headbutted almost 2 weeks ago and I noticed that a small bump had formed on the bridge of my nose and a bit of slight discomfort. My nose is not broken neither is there any pain or bruising but all I want to know is will the bump go away over time and if so how long will it take ?

William Portuese, MD · Answer

The bump created from trauma across the nasal bridge is in direct response to the traumatic injury usually at the bony-cartilaginous junction. This can be simply filed down in a couple months if it's still present after the injury. A large bump will require osteotomies and a full rhinoplasty.

Robert E. Zaworski, MD (retired) · Answer

You may need minor surgery to remove the bump. Only time will tell. Discuss this with your Plastic Surgeon. He will want to evaluate your nose at least 6 weeks after your injury to make that decision.
