Treating & Removing A Bump On Nose Bridge
What Are Dorsal Humps?
Dorsal humps are very common aesthetic facial disproportions. They appear as a bump or hump on the bridge of the nose and are most visible when looking at an individual in profile. Individuals with dorsal humps may be self-conscious about how these humps look, and how they affect the overall appearance and symmetry of their face.
What Causes Dorsal Humps?
Most dorsal humps are a result of hereditary development and are caused by an overgrowth of nasal cartilage and bones. They can also result from a traumatic injury to the nose suffered during childhood or adolescence, when the bones and cartilage of the nose are still in development, resulting in an overgrowth that leads to a bump.
Do Nose Bridge Bumps Affect Breathing?
For most individuals, nose bridge bumps or dorsal humps do not result in any health complications. If a dorsal hump was caused by an injury, the same injury may have also caused a deviated septum, which can result in breathing difficulty. However, while the same injury or traumatic event may cause a dorsal hump and deviated septum, the presence of a dorsal hump alone will not affect breathing.

Dorsal Hump Solutions at TPS
TPS offers both rhinoplasty and non-surgical rhinoplasty procedures. The procedure you choose will depend on your desired results — a non-surgical rhinoplasty may be ideal for less pronounced dorsal humps, while a traditional rhinoplasty may be a better choice for more significant or pronounced dorsal humps. Dr. Bell will work closely with you to determine the best procedure based on your desired look and outcome.
