Question:
I was skiing- a woman wrapped her arms around me from behind to stop herself,
we fell backwards and her poles pushed my nose upward. My nose is not
large and previously looked a bit like a ski jump (lovely irony) but has
had a bump in the middle ever since the accident 10 years ago. I was told
by a plastic surgeon at the time that it would gradually become less obvious
and return to normal but it hasn’t.
Dr. A’s Answer:
How to Fix a Hump After Trauma:
Without seeing your nose in person I can’t say for sure, but, I
would speculate that you are an excellent candidate for a rhinoplasty.
Hump removal is the single most common type of rhinoplasty I perform.
Whether the hump is natural, the result of trauma, or some combination
of both, the procedure should have a high success rate and typically can
be done without any external incisions (closed approach).
