I'm 24, and the bump on my nose is getting bigger. It's noticeable from the front view. What's my best option? (Photo)

Question

I feel like the bump on my nose is starting to show on my front appearance. My bump used to be unnoticeable from the front view but it's getting bigger and curvy. On the profile view it looks bigger than it used to be also.

I believe your best option and first action step should be to consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon to receive the
highest quality knowledge, treatment, care and skill available. A consultation provides you the opportunity to relay your
concerns and desired outcome to the surgeon while the surgeon can assess your
health profile and discuss his/her pertinent advice. Keep in mind that many individuals are concerned about the look of their nose. You are not alone. Further, there are plenty of surgical and non-surgical options, one of which may fit your desired outcome once you consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your question about rhinoplasty.You could under a rhinoplasty with dorsal hump reduction, but if you want a quicker, more temporary fix, a liquid rhinoplasty might be a good options for you.To be sure, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have rhinoplasty or related procedure(s).I hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your question and photos.  From the views provided in the photographs it appears that you could  benefit from a rhinoplasty to remove the dorsal hump.  Additionally, if interested, nasal tip definition could also be improved.  If you are seriously considering a rhinoplasty procedure, I would recommend you consult with a board–certified facial plastic surgeon or general plastic surgeon as a complete physical examination, medical history and facial analysis would be required to make a definitive assessment.  Thank you again for sharing and good luck to you!

It is a common complaint that women do not like
the bump or hump on their nose. The bump is usually a result of too much bone
and cartilage. To treat the bump effectively, one would have to trim the bone and
the cartilage. Otherwise called a rhinoplasty. For a better assessment, the
patient should consult with a board certified Plastic surgeon. Best of luck! TZ

Hi Chloe, From looking at your pictures it appears that you would be a good candidate for a rhinoplasty. This would involve removing the bump on your nose however other  things would need to be done to give your nose a natural appearance. It is very unusual to only address one part of a nose. During your consultation your concerns would be discussed and the surgical plan would be thoroughly discussed. Hope this helps.
