What Are The Risks Of Removing A Bump From The Bridge Of My Nose?

You are asking very good questions regarding  a common rhinoplasty. Removing the bump can be simple and effective in reaching your expectation. And the bump does not grow back.

However, visiting a board certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation would be most beneficial. Your chosen provider could photograph and simulate before and after images of your nose. Removing the bump may also require other changes of the tip and nasal bones.

All that being said, it appears from your photograph that a simple hump reduction would be very satisfying.

You are asking the right questions as far as looking into having surgery on your nose. It doesn't look like it should be very complicated to lower your bump. There are some issue though that your surgeon will consider when he's seeing you for the first time. How big the bump is and how wide the nose is will determine whether or not some additional cuts need to be made in the bones in order to give you a smooth bridge. Also, you should decide whether you think there is anything in the tip of your nose you don't like. Often when the bridge is changed it will change the proportions of the nose to the tip. It will also highlight the tip so that any issues you have now might be more apparent afterward. overall though I think you should be able to get a great result without much difficulty. Good luck.

Removing a small bump from your nose is a simple and gratifying procedure.  For patients such as yourself who have attractive features to their nose and just don't like a little bump, a closed rhinoplasty technique can be utilized.  Through small incisions within the nose, the bump can be removed smoothly and simply.  Recovery is very fast because the remainder of the nasal features are not disturbed.

For small  to medium sized bumps, the physician usually does not need to perform osteotomies (break the nose).

Once the bump is removed, it does not come back. Complications are rare following a simple dorsal rhinoplasty.  In the hands of an experienced plastic surgeon the nose should be straight and smooth when you are done.
