Does Putting Pressure on Dorsal Hump Make It Permanently Bigger? (photo)

Sinaa112Nov 18, 2012
I put a lot of pressure on the dorsal hump of my nose to try and make it smaller and to flatten the hump, I held it for a good 20 minutes or so, and I remember when taking it off, my hump looked HUGE. It looks worse, and the hump looked even bigger. Now, it's been months after that incident, and my nose still looks the same. Did I do permanent damage?

Your body will immobilize your filler around two weeks after a nasal bridge injection. Most sunglasses have nasal pads that fit along the sidewall of your nose, so the type of glasses are important as well. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

I am not aware of external compression devices leading to permanent changes in anyone's nasal appearances. Consider re-asking your questions with photos. Wishing you well. Dr Joseph

Kenalog may cause dermal atrophy (thinning of the skin), but it will not affect the cartilage.
