What It Is
A dorsal hump is a bony or cartilaginous projection along the bridge of the nose, most noticeable when viewing the profile. It may be present from birth, develop gradually over time, or result from a previous nasal injury or surgery. The prominence varies widely among individuals and may not cause any physical symptoms, though some people seek to address it for aesthetic reasons.
