My Nose Bump. Can I Make it Flatter With Pressure?

Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely that you can affect any change in your nose with just digital pressure. However, if you do have the bump removed, then we often recommend digital pressure at that time to lessen the likelihood of a recurrence. Good luck.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to "mold" the nose with pressure. The options available to change the appearance of the nose include injectable fillers which are temporary and surgery which would provide a permanent change in the appearance of your nose. If you're under the age of consent you would need your parents consent to pursue these treatments. With regard to surgery, you can tell your facial plastic surgeon what result you would like and they will let you know if they are able to achieve that result for you. Communication is critical to determine exactly what changes are possible and which will benefit you the most. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Hi,

Pressing on your nasal bump will not remove/fix it even if you are of a pretty young age.

Your best bet is to be little more patient and give nature the chance to take its course and see what the outcome would be. 

By the time you become 16-17 y.o. and your nose has reached full maturity, then if you are not happy with your nose as a whole while taking your facial features into consideration then consulting with a skilled surgeon would help you make a well-informed decision.

I hope this helps.

The best of wishes to you.

Manual pressure on your nasal bump won't flatten the bone. Rhinoplasty can address this, though. Your surgeon should allow you to express your preferences regarding how much you want taken down.

I always thought what a great concept and theoretical possiblity to try to mold the nose.  It is done with ears in newborns.  However, most changes in the nose happen during puberty when structures are more solid. Unfortunately it is not possible at this time.
