I had a perfect straight nose until I wasn’t looking where I was going a week ago and ran into a glass window. I had a nosebleed and a bump on my nose ridge, so I iced it when I got back home and it’s been here for 7 days. It’s less prominent and hurts less and I don’t have any breathing problems, but I really want it off. Should I continue waiting or is there a way to fix this? Thanks!

Answer: New nasal asymmetry the bridge of your nose is made of both the nasal bones and cartilage structures. If you suffered recent trauma to the nose you may have broken/displaced your nasal bones that could result in new asymmetries/bump. Typically, closed reduction to reset broken bones in the appropriate position should be done within 2 weeks. After this, it becomes increasingly difficult to move the displaced bones in the "immediate" post-traumatic period. If new asymmetries are due to an older trauma and things have fully healed, the best way to address them is to undergo evaluation for rhinoplasty to correct these problems.

Answer: Bump on the nose bridge, is there a way to fix this? Probably best to wait at least another week or two to ensure all the swelling is down before making a decision about performing a rhinoplasty procedure to remove the dorsal hump. A closed rhinoplasty can accomplish shaving down the dorsal hump, which is composed of both bone and cartilage, then performing osteotomies to narrow and straighten the nasal bones once the hump has been removed. All of the incisions are placed on the inside of the nose. Choose your surgeon wisely based on extensive experience.
