It has gotten bigger in the past few years and I'm pretty self conscious about it.
Answer: Options for bump on nose. The problem or concern with has to do with the bone and cartilage on the bridge of the nose. You have a few options for helping with your concern. Temporary fillers such as Juvederm can be used to improve the contour of the bridge. I have had great success with this approach for patients who are wanting to avoid surgery. The filler can be placed in the office easily in just a few minutes. There is no down time and the result is immediate. Alternatively, a permanent solution is to have a rhinoplasty surgery to reshape the nose. I use 3D imaging during the consultation to help visualize the changes and make decisions about the best approach. Based on your photos, it looks like both options may work well for you. Best regards.

Answer: Is there any possible way to flatten the hump on my nose without seeing a doctor? NO.Please don't allow a non-doctor to inject your nose with a "liquid nose job" as it will not remove the hump but only build up the lower areas above and below the hump, giving you a dreadful Neanderthal look.Please don't buy an online device to flatten your nose, or tape the skin hoping that pressure will "melt" the bump away. In fact it might just cut off the circulation to the skin, causing the skin to die from excessive pressure (like a self-induced pressure sore).Please don't waste your time and money (and unfounded expectations) on pills, creams, herbal remedies or other types of hump-removal snake oil.You need a rhinoplasty by a competent, well-trained, experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Answer: Is there any possible way to flatten the hump on my nose without seeing a doctor? Based on your photo- you appear to be a candidate for rhinoplasty- surgery to improve the appearance of your nose. I do not recommend seeking " alternative" ways and attempt to alter your nose without seeing or consulting with a REAL Board Certified PS. Good luck!

Answer: Non-surgical Nasal Change Thank you for writing. As you've heard from the other surgeons, the only way to "flatten the hump," would be to undergo a rhinoplasty (operation). This is a safe common operation with a quick recovery. The goal of rhinoplasty is to give the patient an attractive well proportioned nose. A plastic surgeon who has considerable experience with rhinoplasties can do this operation for you. Make sure your surgeon is board certified. Best wishes to you.
