I Have a Small Nose Bump, but Looking at Baby Pictures It Was Never There?

Nasal humps can be the result of trauma or they may also be genetic, becoming more prominent as an individual ages. This can be corrected with surgery, and a board certified rhinoplasty specialist will be able to examine your nose in person and provide you with advice. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

                   Bumps can occur as a result of normal tissue growth or secondary to trauma.  If you want the bump removed, a closed rhinoplasty can be performed.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

The bump on your nasal bridge might have either developed due to nasal trauma, as you mentioned, or due to the maturation of your face during your development. A bump on the bridge of the nose is actually very common. Surgery is the typical method to remedy a bump on the nasal bridge but in certain patients injectable fillers can be used to temporarily camouflage a bump on the nasal bridge. I hope this information is helpful.
