Will Putting Continuous Pressure on My Nasal Bone Induce Bone Resoprtion?

It is impossible to produce bone absorption from just single finger pressure. A small bump on the nose can be easily removed by rasping the bridge and if it is a small enough bump, the nasal bone will not have to be broken.

Hi Amman in Amman, 11,

No. Continuous external pressure on top of the nose will not reduce a hump. However, one could imagine that if someone wears a specially designed mask continuously for years, then yes the nose and face will change shape gradually over time. Neck, feet, and other body parts have slowly been altered by applying pressure over time. In practice, only surgical or nonsurgical rhinoplasty could realistically reshape a nasal hump. Speak with a rhinoplasty surgeon to help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.
