I noticed this on many of my pictures. Why do I have a visible nose bump on the right side of my face but not on the left side? I can breathe fine but I was wondering if I had a deviated septum? I have received bumps throughout the years that resulted in a few nosebleeds ( I'm 22 ) but I've never fractured my nose. How easy can a septum deviate? And if it is what can be done to fix it?

Answer: Septorhinoplasty Hi thanks for your enquiry.From your pic you do need rasping of your dorsal hump and tip refinement .It has to be done in proportion to hormonise with rest of your facial features.As you have mentioned about epistaxis you do need a detailed intra nasal endoscopic examination and CT imaging.This will document septal deviation or any sinus outflow obstruction or turbinate hypertrophy if present can be addressed.Hence functional and aesthetic correction can be done in the same sitting to get optimal improvement.Please do consult a board certified plastic surgeon and be realistic with your expectation and plan your surgery .

Answer: Nose bump and deviated septum? A deviated septum can only be diagnosed by looking at the internal portion of the nose. A septoplasty is performed for a deviated septum to improve blockage of airflow in the back of the nose. A septoplasty will not change the shape of the nose. A rhinoplasty procedure can accomplish shaving down the asymmetrical dorsal hump and make the bridge line look symmetrical.
