Bumps on each side of nose bridge (Photo)

Thanks for your question . A turbinate enlargement may be the cause of your breathing issues and stuffy nose. Numerous conditions, including allergic rhinitis, deviated septum, hormonal changes, environmental variables, nasal polyps, and some drugs, can result in nose turbinate enlargement, often referred to as turbinate hypertrophy.
There are several connections between a stuffy nose and a dorsal hump, on the nasal bridge:
Septum Deviation: A stuffy nose and nasal blockage can result from a deviated septum, which is an off-center nasal septum. Sometimes, as the body adjusts to the airway constriction, this may eventually result in a dorsal hump.
Sinus Problems: A stuffy nose can result from chronic sinusitis, which causes swelling and inflammation in the nasal passages. In certain instances, the development of a dorsal hump may also be facilitated by this inflammation.
Allergic Rhinitis: Allergies can lead to nasal passage swelling and inflammation, which can make the nose feel congested. Rarely a dorsal hump may eventually form as a result of this ongoing inflammation.
If you're experiencing both a dorsal hump and a stuffy nose, For an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan, it's importantC to speak with a skilled Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

These bumps are almost certainly the edges of your nasal bones! They can be smoothed out as part of a rhinoplasty procedure. Difficulty breathing from one side of your nose or the other may be related to a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates, which can also be managed during a rhinoplasty.

It sounds like you're experiencing some nasal congestion along with bumps on either side of your nose bridge. These bumps could be related to a variety of causes, such as nasal polyps, cysts, or even issues with the nasal cartilage. The fact that they feel soft and can be pushed in suggests they might be benign growths, but the sharpness and prolonged breathing difficulties could indicate a structural issue within your nasal passages. It's important to consult a medical professional, such as an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist, for a thorough examination to determine the exact cause and explore treatment options.

The bridge of the nose has very thin skin, so the edges of the nasal bones  where they join with cartilage is showing through as a dorsal hump. The dorsal hump can be shaved down and removed. Spreader grafts may also be required to be placed underneath the upper lateral cartilages which are concave on both sides. A closed rhinoplasty approach can address these issues with all the incisions placed on the inside of the nose

The "shoulders" on your nasal bones are not uncommon. If the appearance bothers you they can be shaved down with a rhinoplasty procedure. It is also possible that your breathing issues could be addressed at the same time. To determine if you are a candidate for nasal breathing surgery and what could be done schedule a consultation with an expert rhinoplasty surgeon in your area.

Hi.  The "bumps" are normal yet not aesthetically pleasing.  You have very thin skin and you have several other issues not just the bumps that you see.  For best result all of these need to be addressed at the same time by an expert nose surgeon.  The bumps are the junction of cartilage and bone.  The two sides of the nose (and face) are almost never identical.  The stuffiness on the inside which switches from side to side is due to your turbinates.  You do not have a "simple" nose so please do not just hand it over to any plastic surgeon.  You truly need a rhinoplasty specialist but you can have nice results.
