Will this bump on my nose ever go away? (photo)

I
Isabel32413Dec 16, 2013

My little cousin hit me on my nose with a hard plastic wand this past Friday (12.13.13) . I didn't bleed, nor did I brake my nose. It is a little red and tiny bit purple where she hit me, but there is a little bump. I was wondering if this bump was going to go away completely? I have been putting ice on it everyday for about 30 minutes. I just really want this bump to go away, it only hurts when I touch it but besides that it's fine. Please help!!! Thank you :)

If one has significant microgenia, a small chin, it is something that should be addressed at the same time as a rhinoplasty to give the patient optimal facial and nasal balance. This should be done by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Otolaryngologist with expertise and experience in rhinoplasty.

I think the best thing to do would be to contact your surgeon's office if you are concerned. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Actually by lowering the bridge of your nose between your eyes (radix) you will observe the opposite effect: your eyes will appear further apart.  Raising the height of the bridge and making it more narrow would cause them to look closer together.

Yes, you can fix a nose that was broken over 20 years ago. Obviously the technique is different than if you had gone in immediately after the injury, but it can still be done. The difference now is the nose will have to be "re-broken" before it can be reset, and by "re-broken" I mean controlled...
