Is There Any Way I Could Get my 12 Year Old Daughters Nose Bump to Go Away? (photo)

I've tried to tell her that it doesn't matter but she won't understand. I wouldn't prefer surgery for her considering the fact that she's too young and a mother would never want surgery on her daughter/child.

Bump on the nose

Dear Cailyn, The decision to change the shape of the nose for such a young patient is a difficult one.

The great thing about the fillers is that they can be dissolved at any time as well. It is a tough age and many kids are very self conscious. A bump on the nose is along the same line as having bad acne and can be just as devastating. With... more

Dorsal nasal hump / nose bump treatment

Hi Cailyn, I'm sorry to hear that your daughter is self-conscious about her nose. Adolescence is a difficult time and I know that sometimes no amount of reassurance seems to help young women feel confident in their appearance. There is no way to remove the bump without surgery.

You may find that your daughter "grows into" her nose and... more
