Do all Caucasians really have a bump on the bridge of their nose?

Question

If you look close do all white people have a little convexity/bump on their nose bridge? I have one, but my mom tried to make me feel better by claiming that all white people have one if you look close (you can only notice my hump up close) but I don't really think so. But then again, maybe this is true because all black/asians have flat noses.

Compared to peoples from all ethnicities, in our experience, people with lineage  from northern Europe often have a boney convexity (bump) on their nasal bridge. Sometimes this can be felt but not seen, and other times it is visible. When it becomes 'large' it sometimes becomes bothersome to an individual and can be surgically reduced. But just the presence of a small bump is not a problem nor is it unattractive, in our opinion.

I have to say that this is not the case. If you look at the people around you you'll notice that some have bumps, some have straight bridges and some have low bridges. There is alot of variability regardless of the ethnicity. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Not everyone has a bump on their nose. Noses come in all different shapes and sizes,  so some have bumps and some do not.
