Can your nose get smaller during puberty ?

Question

I use to have a normal nose when I was 10 but now that I am 14 I have a hump in the middle of my nose , I got it like 2 years ago , but I don't know how . I wanna know if it I'll go away or apear smaller as I grow or can it get removed or smaller , without surgery ?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

The appearance of your nose changes during your growth spurt, and during this time, your nose can get larger or form a hump. The appearance of your nose may be similar to one of your parents who may have a hump as well. Teen rhinoplasty surgery is offered to some boys around 16-18 years old, but may be considered in younger females. A gauge when to consider rhinoplasty is when you have reached your full growth potential.Hope this helps and wishing you well.Dr Joseph
