What's a Non Surgical Way to Lower the Bridge, "Dorsal Hump", on my Nose?

Fixing the nose with fillers

It is reasonable to consider using a filler such as Perlane or Radiesse (or even other fillers) to try and correct (or lessen the appearance) the dorsal hump. Best to speak with an experienced and highly trained physicians such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can assess your nose and give you a personalized treatment plan.

Dorsal hump reduction with nonsurgical rhinoplasty

There is no nonsurgical way to lower the dorsal hump, but sometimes making the radix (area of the bridge above the bump) taller, or augmenting the radix, will result in a straight profile and the illusion of hump removal. The main determinant of the appearance of your nose is hereditary - does your nose look like your mom or dad's? - but other factors like nasal trauma can contribute to the development of your nose as well.

Nonsurgical Nose Jobs Work Well For Nasal Humps, Bumps, Hooks, and Dents

Some patients with humps on their nose can hide the hump with fillers, such as Juvederm, Radiesse and Arefill. It depends on how large and where your hump is located. You would need a consultation with a physician who performs nonsurgical nose jobs. Some surgeons prefer more definitive treatments, such as surgical rhinoplasty, but if all you need is cosmetic improvement, and if you are a good candidate, then a filler treatment might be perfect for you.

Correction of Nasal Hump

A nasal hump can't be corrected non-surgically. Fillers can be used for low or depressed areas to fill in. Noses usually start to grow in puberty and finish by the late teens. However, noses like ears tend to slowly elongate over the decades.

None

There is no non surgical way to get rid of a large bump. You would need a rhinoplasty. Non surgical nose jobs just put fillers in the nose which eventually go away and can cause other problems.
