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

Rhinoplasty revision for the bumpy dorsum can be done to smooth out the bridge, refine the tip, etc. The cause is probably your natural genetics if you have not had trauma.

The reason for this is with the aging process. Skin becomes thinner over the nasal bridge with time.  Any small dorsal irregularities from previous trauma or injuries or fractures are now translucent through very thin skin and are more noticeable.  If there is just a simple removal of a small irregularity, this can be performed by simply rasping the nasal bridge during the rhinoplasty procedure.  A full rhinoplasty does not need to be performed, only a filing down of the small irregularities.
