I seem to have a bump on the right side of my nose only... When I turn to the left, it's no longer noticeable. What is going on here? What can be done to fix it? Are there any non-surgical options? Thank you in advance.

Answer: Dorsal hump removal on one side Hump removal is a surgical procedure, and cannot be addressed with nonsurgical methods. The dorsal hump is composed of both bone and cartilage and must be shaved down in order to remove it. The photograph demonstrates a hump on one side, in addition to a inwardly deviated upper lateral cartilage on the same side which gives the illusion of the hump being even higher. To address these issues, the hump will need to be shaved down and a spreader graft composed of the patient's own cartilage inserted underneath the concave upper lateral cartilage on the same side. The rhinoplasty procedure is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. For many examples of hump removal, please see the link below
