I am 23 years old and my dorsal hump is still growing. Is this usual? I want to have surgery but I have noticed it has been grown rapidly over the past few months. When should the nose stop growing?
Answer: Nose usually stops growing by age 16 The nose usually stops growing by age 16. The growing dorsal hump that is present is a callous formation, usually from nasal fracture or repetitive trauma over the junction between the bone and the cartilage of the nasal bridge. This can be rather easily filed down through traditional rhinoplasty techniques. If there is a large bump present, a nasal bone osteotomy will have to be performed to prevent a flattop nose.
