Basically I had rhinoplasty a year ago,to remove a bump and reduce my nose in size.My problem is that now my nose in my opinion looks too straight almost like a slope ,but not a ski slope where it goes up more ,rather a slope that goes too much into a straight line.I was wondering ,if there is any way to make the nose naturally curve more and maybe add a small bump to the nose ,so it looks more natural.I know alot of people ask for a perfect straight nose ,so is what I want out of the ordinary?

Answer: Nasal Dorsum Contour
Having before and after photos would help providing you with the best overall option for treatment (surgical, non surgical, no treatment). Discussion with your operating surgeon and imaging would be helpful as well so you can see together if you have the same goals. Certainly a quick fix is injecting a temporary filler (HA) to create a "bump" or contour to the dorsum of the nose. If you do not like it the filler will resorb over time or could be dissolved if you really do not like the appearance.

Answer: Is there a way to add a bump back to the nose?
There is a way to place a bump back onto your bridge if that is what you desire. Having a consultation where computer imaging (and morphing) is done would be very helpful. This would allow your surgeon to best determine what outcome you're looking to achieve.
A hump could be added back by grafting some of your own tissue such as cartilage or perichondrium (the natural covering found on cartilage). A temporary effect could be achieved with a soft tissue filler injection such as restylane or juvederm.
Another way to break up the straight line of a perfectly straight nose would be to create what is called a "supratip break". This is basically a subtle concave area on the bridge above the nasal tip. Computer imaging would allow you to see how your nose would look with this done as well.
