Why Are the Sides of my Nasal Bridge Protruding and Becoming More Noticeable? (photo)

xenalexNov 12, 2012
I'm a 24 year old female and i have a dorsal hump which hasn't bothered me up until now. I have noticed in the last 5-6 months that the sides of my dorsal hump are beginning to protrude out (left side more than right).
