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.

How Much Does It Cost To Remove A Dorsal Hump?

Dorsal Hump Solutions at TPS
TPS offers both surgical and non-surgical rhinoplasty procedures to help patients correct nasal bumps and achieve a more balanced profile. Whether you’re dealing with a prominent dorsal hump or a subtle contour issue, Dr. Bell works closely with each patient to determine the ideal treatment path. While non-surgical rhinoplasty may offer a temporary fix for less noticeable humps, surgical rhinoplasty remains the gold standard for lasting, transformative results.
For those seeking a more comprehensive change, patients often address related concerns alongside their rhinoplasty. Individuals considering a refined nose profile may also explore eyelid rejuvenation or liposuction techniques to enhance harmony throughout the face and neck.
In cases where nasal asymmetry persists after prior procedures, we also specialize in revision rhinoplasty, helping patients achieve their originally envisioned outcome. And for those seeking broader aesthetic improvements, some patients integrate nose refinement into their overall mommy makeover planning or complement their contour with a thigh lift procedure to ensure their profile reflects their full transformation goals.
