I've been wearing a pair of glasses that are similar to this style for about 7 months now and I have noticed that there is a prominent bump on the bridge of my nose that I have not really noticed before. I was wondering if this is due to the glasses. Sometimes they feel heavy on my nose when I wear them for a long periods of time. Would I be a good candidate for surgery to correct this?

Answer: Bump on nose Dear ladyinpink24In my experience, although possible, It is unlikely that the bump is from just wearing glasses. One easy way to assess this is to look at your pictures from a year ago and see if you had bump before you started wearing the glasses but never noticed it. If bump is old and unchanged, then treatment would be a dorsal reduction as in any rhinoplasty. If bump is new, you need an examination.If its a new mass ... you might need a medical workup such as CT scan and or MRI to assess. The level of the mass appears to be just below the bony cartilaginous junction. I recommend consultation with a physician.

Answer: Rhinoplasty for dorsal hump removal A dorsal hump located on the nose is composed of both bone and cartilage. It must be shaved down surgically in order to remove it. In most cases, osteotomies of the nasal bones are also required to prevent an open roof deformity. For many examples, please see the link below
