For years I have never liked the way my nose looked and have always wanted to change it. I was just curious if there was a way to make it so that the bump on my nose could be less noticeable.

Answer: Dorsal Hump Thank you for your question. The best treatment for a dorsal hump is surgery (rhinoplasty). It requires removal of the bump which is composed of both cartilage and bone. Removal of a dorsal hump often leads to a wide area where it was removed from. This is is termed an open roof. During surgery, the open roof is closed by osteotomies to either return the dorsum to its previous width or sometimes to narrow it further. Seek consultation with a rhinoplasty specialist in your area who can guide you through the process. All the best!

Camouflage - based on the anatomy of the nose - in some cases filler can be used to disguise the nasal bump. It's not permanent and it's not for everyone2.
