Answer: Nasal trauma Thank you for your question.Unfortunately, the photographs that you have submitted are very dark and hard to see the bump you are talking about. I would encourage you to submit some with better lightening. If you have a bump after trauma to your nose I would ice it and see if the swelling starts to go down within a day or two at that point you should be able to see if it is just swelling causing the bump or it is actually crooked due to the trauma. If nothing changes or it gets worse, I would schedule an appointment with your PCP to have it checked out and if it is determine to be broken or fractured, you may want to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon at this point to see what can be done to correct your nose. Best of luck.Sincerely, James Fernau, MD, FACSBoard Certified ENTBoard Certified Plastic SurgeryMember of ASPS, ASAPS, ISAPS, The Rhinoplasty Society, AAFPRS, OTO/HNS, ASLMS, International Federation for Adipose Therapeutics & Science
