Rhinoplasty

It sounds like you sustained a nasal fracture at the time of your injury resulting i the bump on your nose.9 It can be corrected with a rhinoplasty most likely. It will probably involve removing the hump with either a file or a chisel , as well as refracturing the nose Specifically what needs to be done could be determined in a consult with an experienced plastic surgeon, preferably one with extensive experience in rhinoplasty.

Bump on Nose Secondary to Trauma

You and your surgeon will decide before surgery exactly what will be changed if you decide to eliminate the bump. You do not need a full rhinoplasty. A limited procedure can be done under local anesthesia if the patient desires. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for the best natural results.

Removing traumatic nasal bump

If the bump persists over three months it is usually a nasal tip fracture . The nasal tip in this case is the very caudad(lower) part of the bones .I have with only local anaesthesia put pressure on this are and reduced the displaced anatomy with no surgery. If this is unsuccesful a simple raspind of the area by closed rhinoplasty will work
