9 months ago I was playing in left field during a softball game when someone had hit a fly ball so high in the air that it came down in a perfectly 90 degree angle onto my nose. It hit it perfectly in the middle, right where the bone on my nose starts. (Not the cartilage). I had swelling for 3 weeks but only had a small fracture. But now a small bump on my nose is the result. It's hard and literally feels like it sits on the bone of my nose. It looks so dramatic from a side view. What is it?

Answer: Nasal Bump After Softball Injury Unfortunately, this bump is very likely to be permanent if still present 9 months after the injury. The lining of the nasal bones, known as the periosteum, reacts to injury by producing more bone. This will require surgery to correct. It's best to have a consultation or two with an experienced Rhinoplasty Surgeon to give you further information.

Answer: Posttraumatic deformity Unfortunately, it appears that you have a posttraumatic deformity of your nose. After breaking your nose, the bones appear to have healed in a way that has created a bump. At 9 months, enough time has passed for the swelling to resolve and what you are now seeing is likely permanent. If you are unhappy with the appearance, you should see a board certified plastic surgeon to see what options you have to improve this area.
