Greetings

Thank you for your question. 

 Rhinoplasty operation needed, Small nasal bumps can be removed in these operations.

In the operation that needs the bone and cartilage tissues to be involved; open approach is used. In the procedures with open approach, the size, shape and functionality of the nose can be improved. The big nasal bumps can be removed and septal deviations can be corrected providing a better nasal airway.

Pressing on the hump will not alter the structure of your nose.  I recommend seeking out a Board-Certified plastic surgeon who will thoroughly examine your nose, and provide options, whether non-surgical or surgical.  Best wishes!
