As the central feature of the face, asymmetries in the nasal framework can be a source of great insecurity and self-consciousness for patients. Notably, a bump or hump in the nasal bridge is one of the most common reasons why patients may consider rhinoplasty — a cosmetic nose surgery performed to enhance both form and function. Rhinoplasty is considered the “gold standard” of refining the nose to achieve a more proportional, balanced facial appearance. Not only can the procedure enhance the nostrils, nasal tip, nasal bridge, and overall nose shape, but it can also realign a crooked septum (deviated septum) to improve breathing.
Smoothing a bump in the bridge of the nose is possible with both surgical and non-surgical treatment, but patients should expect different results with each technique:
- Surgical: A rhinoplasty procedure allows a wider breadth of improvements in adjusting the bones, cartilage, and soft tissue of the nose. Since the nasal framework is permanently corrected, patients who opt for rhinoplasty to correct humps in the nose bridge can expect lifetime results.
- Non-surgical: A “liquid rhinoplasty” is a phrase commonly used to describe treatment utilizing fillers to smooth humps in the nasal bridge. This can provide improvement without surgery, anesthesia, or recovery time, but the results are only temporary. To maintain their rejuvenation, patients will have to undergo touch-up injections.
