Nose bump and deviated septum? (Photos)

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, I suggest perform a Closed Rhinoplasty (without visible scars) to treat the tip, base and nasal bridge.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

In order to answer your questions most accurately- it will require a physical exam by a Board Certified PS with extensive experience in Rhinoplasty. From your photos- it appears that you would benefit from Rhinoplasty through closed technique in order to address all elements of your nose. Good luck!

Thank you for your pictures! Based on what you are detailing, we would need a good physical exam to determine whether or not your septum is deviated, or more likely in your case, dislocated.  No issues breathing is a very good thing! That means that we know that in the case of a minor deviation or dislocation, at least it is not causing obstructive problems.



As far as "the bump" is concerned, that is partly due to bone, partly due to cartilage.  Often times, as we are growing up and our bones and cartilages are immature, small trauma can mold the bone and cartilage in particular ways such that later on in life  we see these irregularities.  It's very common in patients who present with similar complaints who've had active lifestyles when they were younger - such as played softball/baseball, soccer, cheerleading, etc.  



In order to address the bump you would have to address the issues - and that involves rasping and polishing the bone down, as well as possibly making some precise cuts in the bone to mold it back to where we want it to be.  If your septum was dislocated, we would address that at the same time.  Downtime is about 7 days - you just feel like you have a stuffy nose, like a bad head cold.  Otherwise recovery is pretty straight forward. 



I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
