Answer: Regarding bumps on noses
The bump on your nose is not likely to go away, but you are 15 years old and your nose is likely to change a bit as you get older, so consider waiting at least one or two years before pursuing surgery. Keep in mind that male noses should be larger and more masculine than female noses. Simply removing the bump might not give you the result you were hoping for. It looks like your nose begins at the level of your pupil, which is lower than most male noses. Removing more tissue from the top of your nose would not only change the shadowing between your eyes on the frontal view, but make the bottom 3rd of your nose look even bigger by comparison. Consider removing the bump by adding material above it (cartilage from your own septum works best.) This will give you a straight, masculine nose that not only looks better on profile, but straight-ahead view as well, which is even more important. Michael S. Fozo, MD FACS
