How can you reduce a nose hump without an injection (rhinoplasty) and without surgery? (Photo)

Question

My nose isn't crooked, just has a bump. How can I lower it without any surgery or rhinoplasty? Please help. Is there anything I can do to help it, like any massages? How to do the massages?

Based on your profile photos, you appear to have an over projected nasal appearance. That means that your nose appears to stick out a bit too far. This is associated with a dorsal hump and a droopy nasal tip appearance. Goals of rhinoplasty surgery would be to provide a less distracting, smaller, and more feminine nasal profile appearance. I do not believe there would be any nonsurgical treatments that would make you happy. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

The nasal hump is bone and cartilage.  It cannot be reduced by massage.  It can only be reduced through surgery.  A nonsurgical nose job can camouflage the hump and can be a good alternative to surgery for some patients, but surgery is the only way to actually take down the hump. 
In a non-surgical nose job, injectable fillers are used to change the shape of the nose and improve overall facial harmony and aesthetics. In most cases, hyaluronic-acid based fillers are used to change the appearance of the nose and camouflage certain areas.  I would recommend speaking with a facial plastic surgeon to go over all of your options.
All the best,

Hello, great question, 
The non-surgical nose job can not physically reduce the size of the hump but it can disguise it by adding filler to the bridge. It help the nose appear more smooth and defined. I recommend contacting a cosmetic physician in your area and scheduling a consultation!  
Best of luck!

There is nothing that can be done short of surgery to reduce the hump of a nasal dorsum. The injections just hide the hump and don't reduce it. There are no massages or treatments to reduce it.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

The nasal hump is composed of bone and cartilage, and it takes a surgical rhinoplasty to shave the hump down. Osteotomies performed in the nasal bones will then be required to close the open roof created from the hump removal and straighten the nose. All this can be accomplished with a closed rhinoplasty approach with all the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. The side profile photographs also demonstrate a recessive  chin profile for  which a Chin implant can improve.  For many examples of this combination, please link and the video below
