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.

 Bone and cartilage of the nose are living  tissue and undergo changes  related to the aging process. Repetitive trauma to the area creates additional callus formation on the junction between the bone and cartilage which accentuates the bump. Rhinoplasty addresses removal of the  bump along with osteotomies to narrow the nasal bones. Please see link below for examples of bump removal in our  rhinoplasty practice

                   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
