A nasal bump also known as a dorsal hump is made of two components: bone and cartilage. A small bony hump can be treated by filling down the bone without breaking it. In some cases “non-surgical” rhinoplasty can help to reduce the appearance of the bump. Fillers like Radiesse are used to fill areas above the hump to camouflage its appearance. This method is quick and inexpensive, but the results only last about a year. However, large dorsal humps require a rhinoplasty to trim both the cartilage and the bone by breaking it (osteotomies), in order to create an aesthetically pleasing nose. Even if osteotomies are performed during a rhinoplasty, it is well tolerated procedure and it is less painful than it seems like.
