How come I developed a dorsal hump at age 17? My nose is fine except for the hump and I'm really annoyed that I got it. I sometimes feel embarrassed by it.
Answer: Correcting Hump on Bridge is Very Straightforward One of the most common reasons that patients seek rhinoplasty consultations is to learn about dorsal hump reduction.A dorsal hump is comprised of bone and cartilage. To remove the hump, the rhinoplasty surgeon files down the bone and trims the cartilage to the appropriate height to give the profile the desired contour. For an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon, this is a very straightforward procedure.

Answer: Developing your adult face. Virtually all children have a shallow nasal bridge, but as our face expresses its adult genetics some patients develop a hump. This is really no more unusual than the appearance of any adult feature: facial hair, a deeper voice, your final stature. At age 17, you're simply seeing the development of your adult face.

Answer: Dorsal hump at age 17 The dorsal hump at age 17 is usually a combination of both bone and cartilage growth that occurs at a junction between the top of the nasal bridge and the upper lateral cartilages. Repetitive nasal trauma worsens this dorsal hump. Sometimes it is just due to genetics. A very small hump can be rasped and smoothed down, but a large hump will require removal and narrowing of the nasal bones.
