How Do I Get Rid of a Bump on my Nose Without Having Botox or Surgery?

Nonsurgical Nose Jobs Work Well for Nasal Bumps and Humps
I have been performing nonsurgical nose jobs for more than seven years and have treated many noses that resemble yours from the photographs you have provided. However, photos are no substitute for examining the nose.

Generally, speaking, I might approach a bumped nose by adding to the bridge area, but not too much so as to make the bridge appear too high--just enough to straighten.  Likewise, I would consider reshaping the tip of the nose to give it a bit of a lift (hence straightening it and bringing it more into line with a slightly higher bridge). And lastly, I might consider giving it a bit of a lift to the tip by adding some volumizing filler below the columella, as well.

As a kind of simple pretest, small amounts of salt solution can be injected in the areas I just specified. The salt solution is reabsorbed in just a few minutes, but remains in place just enough time to give a good idea how the real treatment would work out.

In a sidebar to this column, you can see the before and after of a marked bump on the nose treated by me about eight years ago.

Non-surgical nose job or liquid rhinoplasty has become increasing popular among patients looking for an alternative to surgery to enhance the appearance of their nose.  Liquid rhinoplasty refers to the use of fillers for the enhancement of your nose.  I typically do non-surgical nose jobs in two groups of patients, the first is patients that are not ready for surgery or they want a something done that will not require the downtime that surgery often requires.  The second is in patients that have had a rhinoplasty and did not achieve the results they desire. In that situation, the area of concern may be small enough that it is not worth another surgery or patients may not be a full year out from surgery so the liquid rhinoplasty is a good option for them until they are able to have a revision surgery. 

The cost ranges from practice to practice and on the specific filler that you use for your nose augmentation.  The fillers available range from in duration from 6 months to up to two years.

Juvederm Ultra Plus and Restylane and the workhorse products for fillers as they have been around for years and patients tend to love them.  They last about 6 to 9 months in the nose. 

Resylane Defyne lasts up to a year. The Defyne gives patients a lasting-result they will love for their nose.

My favorite filler for a liquid rhinoplasty (non-surgical nose job) is Juvederm Volluma.  This product has the strength to shape the nose and also lasts up to two years.  It is a great option for patients as I can improve the shape of their nose and give them a result that is going to last for years. 

The cost for these various fillers ranges between $550 and $875 per syringe.  Typically, one syringe is sufficient for most patients to augment their nose. 

Please consult your Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your non-surgical nose job (liquid rhinoplasty) enhancement options.  

Thank you for your question!  I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers like Voluma, Restylane, and Juvederm along with Botox can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose and lift the tip; however, it won't make the nose appear smaller. Surgery would be needed to improve the nostrils or overall shape. Best, Dr. Emer

Botox is a muscle paralyzing agent, so that would not be helpful for camouflaging a bump. Fillers may be helpful depending on your examination. Consider consulting with several rhinoplasty specialists so you could see what might be best for you moving forward. Dr Joseph

In 5 minutes and with a couple injections of a filler, you can improve the appearance of bump on the bridge of the nose with a non-surgical rhinoplasty using hyaluronic acid (naturally appearing substance in your body). Seek consultation with a board-certified rhinoplasty specialist for a consultation and discussion of the best options in your case.  Hope this helps and best wishes. 

In general, a bump on the nose is not going to be improved by Botox injections. A bump on the nose can usually be corrected either through surgery (which would offer a permanent change), or through a non-surgical nose job such as a filler injection. Fillers can be injected around a bump in order to to hide the bump and improve the appearance of the nose. Keep in mind that these procedures are generally temporary and will slowly go away over time. The results can always be replicated by having another injection at some point down the line.
Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert who also performs non-surgical nose jobs in order to review all of the options in detail and choose the proper procedure for your concern.
All the best,

Hi there and many thanks for your question. Commonly, nose bumps can be softened with non-surgical rhinoplasty which on a positive note is not botox or surgery! This involved small injections of hyaluronic acid based dermal filler to make the nose appear straighter. An injection can also be placed under the tip to elevate the end of the nose.  Make sure you consult an experienced aesthetic practitioner for consultation.Best wishes,Dr Rupert 

Hi,
There are cool new ways to help hide bumps on the nose. Specifically, using hyaluronic acid fillers can help camouflage bumps and other irregularities. The pros of HA fillers are that they can be done fast, at much lower cost than surgical nose jobs and with no pain or recovery. The cons are that the fillers are temporary (usually last around 9 mo) and they must be injected with extreme caution by someone with specific training in nose jobs and fillers. I hope this information was helpful.

Nonsurgical rhinoplasties are a great alternative to surgery for humps but not everyone is a candidate.  It really depends on the height of the hump.  Fillers can be used above and below the hump to make it appear flatter.  Of course, adding filler raises the bridge above and below the hump and this may not look good in some patients.  Nonsurgical rhinoplasties are usually performed by VERY experienced plastic surgeons and look for someone that uses a blunt cannula to reduce your risks.

While it's hard to say without seeing your photos, in general, a non-surgical "nose job" can reduce the appearance of a small bump by filling the areas around the bump.  Larger bumps, however, do better with traditional surgery.  Also, if the injury caused structural damage to the nose, or internal issues that affect breathing, then surgery would have the advantage.Best to speak with a local PS or ENT in your area that does a lot of cosmetic rhinoplasty.
