Can I fix this tiny bump on my nose without surgery? And with surgery, how much would it cost? (photos)

Hyaluronic fillers can elevate the depressed area above the
hump, called the radix, and camouflage the hump producing a modest cosmetic
improvement. They generally last 6-9 months. Micro-fat grafts are a more
permanent filler, but require a more involved procedure. There are synthetic
permanent fillers, but most plastic surgeons would warn against using them,
especially in the nasal area because of the long term potential complications.
Fillers will not produce the same long term balanced cosmetic result that can
be achieved with an artistically performed natural appearing rhinoplasty.
Starting with a hyaluronic filler is a reasonable first step. If you like the
result and want something more permanent you can always proceed with one of the
other options.

Keep in mind that following advice from a
surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do
based on limited two dimensional photos without examining you, physically
feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical
history and discussing the pros and cons of each procedure would not be in your
best interest. I would suggest that you find a surgeon certified by the
American Board of American Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or facial plastic
surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should
discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

The dorsal hump is composed of both bone and cartilage and must be surgically shaved down in order to remove it permanently. We do not recommend temporary fillers placed in the nose due to significant complications that can occur with their placement. Once the dorsal hump has been shaved down, osteotomies of the nasal bones are then required. for many examples of surgical hump removal and our price list, please see the link below
