Break Nasal Bone to Fix Nose Bridge Bump?

 In many cases, with a small bump no fracturing of the bone is required, but it's hard to know without an examination.  If you do need an infracture, however, this is not something that should be feared as the procedure and the recovery are usually very straightforward.

A bump on the bridge of the nose is usually a combination of excess bone and cartilage in the area. In order to remove the bump, the bone must be reduced. This usually also requires reduction of the cartilage to maintain a smooth profile. Often, the nasal bones will have a small space between them when they are reduced. In order to close this space, the nasal bones muct be precisely fractured and repositioned.
This is a very controlled maneuver. A well trained rhinoplasty surgeon can accomplish this with precision.
It will only be done if nececssary. However, in most cases where bumps on the nose are reduced, it will be required.
