What causes a dorsal hump to form? I am a female and had a very subtle hump on my nose by the time I was 16. At age 26, it is MUCH worse. I have been hit in the nose several times but I'm not sure if I ever broke my nose. The hump feels like it's all bone. I have been told by an ENT that I have a severely deviated septum with enlarged turbinates. There is not a single known family member with a dorsal hump (all straight or concave nose shapes in my family). What is happening to my nose?
