Im 14 and I have a really bad habbit of pressing down on my nose hump with excessive force. The area where the hump is turns red but the bump has gone down, but after 10 minutes it returns to its normal state. Is there a permanent solution other than rhinoplasty
Answer: How can you get rid of a bump on your nose? With respect to a bump on the nose, in the end, there is really only one solution and that is surgery. There are ways to make a nose have a bigger hump without surgery, but reducing the bump, there is only one one. Hopefully you can do your best to feel good about your nose . James P.

Answer: Non-surgical rhinoplasty Depending on the bump you have, there are non-surgical rhinoplasty options. These include using dermal fillers in an off-label way to fill the area above and below the bump. This can help straighten the appearance of the nose. However, not all bumps are amenable to this and I would recommend an evaluation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Solutions for a Nasal Hump Unfortunately, there is so much memory and recoil to the structures of the nose, that pressing on it alone will not make any permanent changes. For a hump, you have two options:Take it off with a rhinoplasty Disguise it with filler both above it and sometimes below it. Both approaches can work well and have their places. If the nose is already big, adding filler will make it even bigger. If the nose is small, filler can fill out deficiencies around the hump.

Answer: Pressure on a Nasal Hump Applying excessive pressure over a nasal hump, will not make it smaller, what can happen is that you get too much irritation on that area and the skin will get thinner and with permanent changes that will not look neither. The rhinoplasty is the only procedure that can give you a permanent solution. Talk with your parents about your concerns and the best is to get a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon or Facial Plastic Surgeon for an evaluation and to check your options.

Answer: Is there a permanent solution for a nasal hump other than rhinoplasty? Rhinoplasty is the only permanent method to reduce a bump on the nasal bridge. This involves removing a small amount of cartilage and bone and repositioning the nasal bones. I definitely would not recommend pressing on the bump especially at your age as your facial skeleton is still developing. You could worsen the issue as opposed to making it better. Please consult with a rhinoplasty expert for specific answers about how to best proceed. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
