I hate my dorsal hump. My chin sticks out which makes the bump even more prominent. What options do i have? I cant afford surgery and fillers will just make nose bigger? Is this covered by insurance? I never used to have a bump bu ever since i was in grade 8 i developed a habit of pressing down on my nose(where the bridge was) in order to make my nose thinner but my nose just ended up looking crooked and a bump sticks out now. Did i deform it myself?
