Shortening the nose by rotating the tip will make the hump or bump appear smaller
The short answer, in my opinion, is to make your nose shorter by elevating the tip. This will create the impression of a smaller bump as well as a shorter nose.

Reducing nasal bump and shortening nose requires Rhinoplasty
Yes, indeed you have to go through rhinoplasty to remove a bump on your nose. It is not a good idea to undergo injections into the nose because there has been a high complication rate with those. The average cost of a rhinoplasty is between $5,500 and $6,000.

Rhinoplasty Surgery may be used to remove a profile-bump and to shorten your nose.
The photo you posted is low resolution, but you appear to have a long nose with a dependent tip that droops with smiling. Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty will not be effective for shortening your nose. Nasal shortening, tip repositioning, and bump removal are common concerns that may be addressed by well-performed Rhinoplasty Surgery.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Reducing bump on nose
In answer to your question, the only way to obtain the result you want is to have a surgical procedure referred to as Rhinoplasty. You will need to meet with a surgeon in order to get the exact cost for the procedure. There are a couple of factors that determine the cost of the procedure and those are complexity and the amount of time necessary to do the surgery. These determine the cost for the surgeon's fee, the operating room and the cost for the anesthesiologist. In my practice in...

Surgery for "bump" on nose
To make any changes to your nose, you will need to have a rhinoplasty. What is done during the rhinoplasty really depends on your anatomy. Also, what may appear as just a bump to you, may actually be more involved internally. It is best to have a consultation with your plastic surgeon and have an intranasal examination prior to planning your surgery. Good luck.

Bump on nose - rhinoplasty
It looks as though you are a great candidate for a rhinoplasty.
A well done rhinoplasty can remove the hump on your bridge, and also make it look shorter. You should plan on a recovery period of about a week, and approximately two weeks before you feel able to engage in important public events.
Your results will slowly improve over the course of a year.
Good luck.

Reduction rhinoplasty
Reduction rhinoplasty is often performed to take down a nasal bump or hump. Depending upon how much reduction is performed, this can have the effect of making the nose appear shorter. Additional techniques may need to be employed as well to make your nose shorter depending upon your aesthetic concerns. Also, if you want the tip rotated slightly that is another way of making the nose appear shorter. These are general guidelines. Any procedure to make those alterations to your nose by...

Nose Surgery
What you are interested in is rhinoplasty. And yes, it does involve surgery. Difficult to tell you what would be optimum for you, as I can not really see your profile well.
Fillers are temporary for attempting to alter the shape of the nose and I would not recommend it in a person who has not had any nose surgery.

Rhinoplasty for bump
A rhinoplasty or nasal surgery is really the only way to get rid of a bump or correct poor tip projection of the nose. Fillers can camouflage some things but not all.

Rhinoplasty surgery will be ideal to reduce your 'bump' and lift your tip
The bump on your nose will be removed by rhinoplasty ('nose job') surgery. In addition, you can have the tip lifted a little, but not so much that you see too much nostril from the front.
Make sure your plastic surgeon shows you severlal possibilities on the computer before the surgery so that you can decide what you want it to look like.

Shortening a Nose and removing a Bump
The apparent length of the nose is directly related to the length of its septum. To shorten a nose, the front part (IE caudal end) of the septum is shortened by the desired distance. The nasal tip is then re-attached at the proper height and orientation to the new end of the septum.
Removing a bump on the back (IE dorsum) of the nose involves either shaving it off with a scalpel or rasping it with a rasp or a burr, depending on its location. IF the bump is large (IE the bump is a hump),...
