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

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.

Hi,
From comparing your old and new pictures, it appears that there is a slight widening in the middle third of your nose, the area commonly referred to as the nasal bridge. If this is something that concerns you, rhinoplasty could be an option to consider. However, if your expectations are minimal, it might not be worth pursuing surgery.
It’s important to carefully think through your decision and articulate your concerns clearly, as rhinoplasty should never be a rushed choice.
Additionally, during rhinoplasty, we often place cartilage grafts in the middle third of the nose to maintain or enhance breathing function. For this reason, the goal isn’t to make this area too narrow or overly refined.
Best wishes,Prof Dr Furkan Karabekmez

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.
