What Is a Dorsal Hump?
A dorsal hump is a bump on the nasal bridge made up of bone, cartilage, or both. It can be:
- Inherited (genetic)
- Caused by trauma or previous surgery
- Accompanied by a deviated septum or breathing issues
The hump often makes the nose look hooked, arched, or prominent, especially in profile photos.
