Should I consult for surgery? Or is it something I can correct on my own?

Just holding your nose each day won't help. Rhinoplasty can be done to take down that bump permanently, making it look better, but natural as well. At the same time the septum can be straightened so that your breathing gets better as well. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.

Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I can understand from your question it is hard to make a proper evaluation without the photos. You might need to rhinoplasty surgery for correct the bump and fix the breathing problems. If you can provide photos from front of your face, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!

Hi in a Rhinoplasty correction of the nasal septum is preformed if needed to enhance breathing along with nasal profile enhancement one of them is nasal bump. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery process.

The dorsal bump is composed of both bone and cartilage and becomes larger related to trauma. Massaging your nose will not help. You will require a surgical rhinoplasty to shave down the dorsal hump. You're be may require a septoplasty for a deviated nasal septum which is blocking your airflow, but this must be confirmed at the time of the examination
