Could A Non Surgical Nose Job Improve the Appearance of my Hump? (photo)

Hi, I am a 17 year old male and I have a dorsal hump. The thing I can not stand about my nose is the profile. I have seen many questions like this featuring people with humps which are smaller than mine and the responses said that their hump was too big for a non surgical nose job. I will attach two photos: one of my nose normally and one with a hairpin to push the skin above my hump up, I know this is not exactly demonstrative of a non surgical nose job but it completely fixes my problem.

Non surgical rhinoplasty

While a non-surgical rhinoplasty will likely achieve the results you post using the hairpin, it will create a very high radix on the upper part of your nose. A better option to achieve a more natural result would be to address your nose surgically. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can evaluate you and assist you in achieving the results you seek.

Non surgical nose enhancement

Thanks for the photos and very creative demonstration of your concerns. Non surgical nose enhancement with fillers (Radiesse) is a temporary fix. It will improve for a limited amount of time (6-12 months) and requires repeated treatment once the filler is absorbed. The benefit of using Radiesse is twofold.
