I have a boney bump only on one side of my nose, what causes this and what can I do? (Photos)

Your described boney lump is probably a septal deviation. This happens when the bone or cartilage in the septum, which separates the nostrils, moves to one side. One side of the nose may develop a noticeable hump as a result.However, you should see a skilled, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon. He can examine you, touch your nose, and take care of your treatment plan.
Reasons:
-Trauma: The septum may deviate if the face is struck, as can happen in an accident or sports injury.
-Congenital: Some people have a deviated septum from birth.
-Aging: The nose's cartilage may deteriorate and become more prone to moving as we age.
For our clients, we correct additional nasal problems, including excessive turbinates, and improve the nose's appearance in addition to straightening the septum during a septoplasty-rhinoplasty.
Hope this was helpful!
Best wishes,

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well... based in your question and the picture you showed you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty , in your case with technique open and elevate the tip.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, this is your nasal bone.  This can be congenital or acquired through trauma.  You may benefit from a rhinoplasty with dorsal hump reduction.   Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system.  You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon. 

Best wishes and good luck.
