Some years ago I got hit on my nose and now I have quite big hump at the upper level. The nose itself is quite straight, just the hump is there and is visible from both sides. I was wondering if there is a way to get rid of it without having a surgery? It really bothers my so much that I sometimes think of hitting the hump. The hump does got smaller if I pushed it down but just for some minutes.. thanks for your answers. I also added a picture

Answer: Nasal hump removal without surgery--not this one!
You have a significant nasal hump consisting of bone AND cartilage, and with due respect to my colleagues, fillers (any kind) or cortisone (any strength) will not help this to any degree you will find acceptable.
Rhinoplasty is your only and best action; thus, you must find a surgeon who is experienced and certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or the American Board of Otolaryngology (Facial Plastic Surgery) to do an excellent job for you. This will require a full, complete rhinoplasty with osteotomies, but the exact details are best left to your examining surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: Masking the dorsal nose hump - non-surgical options? Fillers offer small but visible improvements
With small dorsal nose humps, injectable dermal fillers injected into the radix and bridge of the nose (just above the hump) can help to mask the hump. However, there is a limit to the amount that can be injected safely. For moderate sized (such as yours) to large humps, the improvement from fillers would be smaller and surgical correction plays a much stronger role. If your goal is to have a perfectly straight nose in profile view, then there is no doubt that rhinoplasty surgery is the only option. Otherwise, if you'd like to see a small subtle improvement, then there may be a role for filler which, in the hands of a board certified plastic surgeon, is a safe, no down-time office procedure. Good luck!
