NOSE BUMPS

WHAT ARE NOSE BUMPS?
Also known as dorsal humps, nose bumps are cartilage and bone irregularities on the nose. These types of distortions can cause a ‘hump’ to appear at the bridge of the nose and alter the outline of a person’s face.
While there’s nothing unhealthy about dorsal humps, some people may feel self-conscious about the condition and seek cosmetic surgery.
WHAT CAUSES NOSE BUMPS?
- Genetics e.g., families could have a history of nose bumps that develop over time
- Injury e.g., breaking the nose and it healing irregularly
- Previous nose surgery that hasn’t healed properly
HOW CAN NOSE BUMPS BE TREATED?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty
Compared to a traditional nose job, a non-surgical rhinoplasty is non-invasive and generally faster. Dermal fillers are placed in the parts of the nose where the dorsal hump is present.
The dermal filler helps to camouflage the bump, straighten the bridge of the nose and slim down the overall appearance of the nose.
More cost-effective than other rhinoplasty methods, a non-surgical nose job requires little recovery time, and you can carry on with your day after the procedure is completed.
Rhinoplasty
A rhinoplasty, also known as an open nose job, is a surgical procedure that involves anaesthetic.
This surgeon makes an incision in the nose to reveal the bone underneath the skin. Then, the surgeon reshapes the nose, which may involve breaking and resetting the bone to improve the shape.
Once the procedure is completed, the nose is covered in a splint and recovery time may take up to three weeks.
Closed rhinoplasty
A closed rhinoplasty is another surgical procedure where anaesthetic is required. A surgeon works beneath the nostrils to alter cartilage and remove a dorsal hump.
Compared to an open nose job, the recovery time is lessened, with an expectation of 1 – 2 weeks.
