Most of the days I would always have this heavy pressure on my nose bridge. The strong pressure is where my nose bump is. I had this nose bump 16-17 an now I'm 18 and will always have pressure on the bump. Is the pressure happening to me because of the bump?
Answer: Pressure on the nasal bridge A pressure sensation on the nose or inside the nose is unlikely to be related to any cosmetic deformity (such as a bump on the bridge of the nose). Problems with allergies, sinusitis, or other issues would be much more likely to be causing nasal pressure symptoms. In some cases, a CT scan might be needed to rule out other problems inside the nose. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert or ENT surgeon as a starting point to find out the cause of the problem and possible treatment options. Best,

Answer: Heavy pressure the nasal bridge A nasal bump is composed of both bone and cartilage and does not usually cause any pain. Pain and pressure in the nose is usually cause from sinus related issues, and a CAT scan of the paranasal sinuses may be in order if this is been chronic in nature.

Answer: Why Do I Always Feel a Heavy Pressure at my Nose Bridge?
I would not expect the reduction of the hump to affect this sensation, but you may consider the rhinoplasty for hump reduction from the cosmetic point of view. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Answer: Dorsal hump does not give pressure
A hump on the nasal dorsum does not usually give the pressure. The pressure is likely from congestion inside the nose. You should see an Otolaryngologist to get an evaluation. Regards
