What causes a dorsal hump? (photo)

ershuker
I am a 15 year old female and I have a large dorsal hump in the middle third of my nose. It started developing when I was about 11 and has grown significantly since then. No one in my family has a nose anything like mine, they are all straight with no bump. Obviously having a dorsal hump has affected my self esteem quite a lot and I am currently looking into getting it removed. I would like to know what could have caused it, is it in my genes? Or from an accident?
