The bump has been growing past the years, and unfortunately it is very noticeable in photos. This really hurts my self esteem and I dream about fixing this. Thanks for any answers!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Candidate I would recommend starting with a consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon that specializes in rhinoplasty surgery to discuss if rhinoplasty can address your concerns. I would recommend writing down the following questions before scheduling your consultation: 1. Are you unhappy with the tip of your nose? 2. Do you feel that your nose is too wide? 3. Do you want to make your nostrils smaller in appearance? 4. Are you looking to decrease the general size of your nose? I hope some of these questions will help you pinpoint what it is that you don't like about your nose. Cost will vary due to various factors like anesthesia fees, facilities fees, etc. I wish you the best as you research your options when scheduling a rhinoplasty consultation. Sincerely, Philip J. Miller, MD, FACS Double Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Rhinoplasty: Bump on side of nose Dear samanthaaaa44, Thank you for your question. It is difficult to make an accurate assessment and recommendations without an in-person evaluation. I recommend you seek an in-person consultation with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty who can perform a thorough evaluation and discuss with you the best surgical options to meet your goals. If there is a true growth in your nose, you may need further evaluation to make sure there is no concerning lesion or tumor there. If it is more the bridge of your nose has become more prominent over time, a rhinoplasty to shave down the area may be a reasonable option.
