Had silicone implant to heighten the nose bridge 17 years ago. Recently noticed that perhaps the implant shifted downward with time and possibly created this small bump as my nose was smooth for years after the surgery. It is for sure not a pimple! I know it's probably trivial as removing the implant could do more damage. If I do remove the implant, I do not plan to replace it. What can be done or do I just leave it alone? Thanks.

Answer: Small dorsal bump can be shaved down board camouflaged with filler called a liquid rhinoplasty.
It's possible that the eyes might look further apart after narrowing the nose. Video imaging is a good way to give you some idea what to expect from this change.
