The nasal dorsum extends from the nasal root to the tip and plays a major role in side-profile balance. Genetics, bone and cartilage structure, or prior trauma can create humps, dips, or asymmetry along the bridge.
With age, subtle structural changes and skin thinning can further accentuate irregularities. For many, even minor contour disruptions along the nasal dorsum can draw attention and affect overall facial proportion.
