What are my options to treat the bump on my nose? (Photo)

Without seeing your original side profile it's hard to say based on the photos how much of a impact the trauma had on the shape of your nose, but if your profile was originally completely straight then it's probably worthwhile to try a kenalog/5-fluourouracil injection to reduce any inflammation and scar tissue that formed subsequent to the trauma prior to pursuing a surgical rhinoplasty. If a bump remains, then it would be fairly straightforward to smooth it during a closed rhinoplasty.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s completely understandable to feel unsettled after a change in your appearance—especially when it involves the nose, even if the issue is subtle or lighting-dependent.
From what you’ve described, it sounds like the overall nasal structure remains intact, but you’re noticing a minor contour irregularity that appeared after trauma. When the bump is small and surgery isn’t medically necessary—or recommended—non-surgical options like dermal fillers can sometimes offer an effective solution.
Because your nose is on the smaller side, careful and minimal filler placement might help restore smoother lines or improve light reflection, bringing it closer to your pre-injury appearance. That said, even though filler is often marketed as a simple procedure, non-surgical rhinoplasty requires a high level of expertise due to the nose’s vascular anatomy and limited soft tissue coverage.
If this is something you’re considering, it’s very important to consult with an experienced aesthetic surgeon who is thoroughly familiar with nasal anatomy—preferably someone who also performs surgical rhinoplasty. In expert hands, this approach may provide the subtle refinement you’re hoping for, without the risks of surgery.

It sounds like your surgeon gave thoughtful advice, especially since your bump is subtle and only visible in specific lighting. If you’re looking for a non-surgical approach to smooth out minor imperfections, you might consider liquid rhinoplasty. This technique uses dermal fillers to reshape the nose, offering a temporary way to address small bumps or asymmetry without surgery. While results last around a year, it can be an excellent way to restore the look of your nose with minimal downtime. Make sure to consult an experienced injector, as liquid rhinoplasty requires precision for the best, safest results.
