This is an insightful question given that the inquirer may be familiar with medical and dental conditions involving deformities of bone and cartilage which are successfully treated with techniques for reshaping structures with applied physical pressure. Specifically, most people are very familiar with orthodontic and orthopedic procedures for realigning malpositioned teeth with braces and correcting congenital limb deformities with bracing, plating or orthotic devices.
"Bumps" or humps on the top of any particular nose may develop during normal nasal growth or as the result of nasal trauma. The common dorsal nasal hump deformity, typically of cosmetic concern to patients is a result of normal nasal growth and may often be normally observed with greater frequency among some ethnic groupings.
The approach of reshaping a nasal deformity through an applied constant pressure approach meets several physical and social considerations that have overwhelmingly to-date precluded its use over conventional surgical methods (rhinoplasty). In order to reshape any bone or cartilage, the pressure, or tension, must be anchored to a more stable skeletal point, which in the face, would require surgery to place a forceful bracing device across the nose, under the skin, to anchor in the maxillary bone or cheek bone. Such bracing would require extensive facial surgical dissection of the tissues of the face, even if performed from beneath the upper cheeks and nose as approached from within the mouth. If bracing were placed above the skin, the pressure wound exceed the pressure of the blood supply to the skin and erode the skin down to the underlying exposed cartilage and bone, leading to an obvious deformity in and of itself. Either of these approaches wound be cosmetically unacceptable and would require months or years of application. Alternatively, conventional rhinoplasty, any surgery to reshape the nose, requires only an hour or two to complete, given today's very safe provision of general anesthesia, in order to accomplish a very consistent desirable result.
The reason for constant pressure techniques not being currently applied for the correction of nasal hump deformities are that more direct, safe and effective techniques are available in the care of experienced surgeons.

Fleshy bump white in nose?

What is nasal pharynx?
The nasopharynx is the upper part of the throat behind the nose connecting the nose to the mouth and the rest of the throat. It plays a role in breathing and in the passage of air from the nose to the rest of the respiratory system. It also houses the openings of the Eustachian tubes, which help equalize pressure in the ears.
What causes inhalation to occur?
Inhalation is caused by the contraction of the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles. This creates a decrease in air pressure in the lungs, causing air to flow in through the nose and mouth to equalize the pressure.
What is the Scientific word for nose blind?
The scientific term for being "nose blind" is "olfactory fatigue" or "olfactory adaptation." This phenomenon occurs when the olfactory receptors in the nose become less sensitive to a persistent odor over time, leading individuals to become unaware of the smell. It can happen in various environments, particularly where certain scents are constant, causing the brain to tune them out.
What is a nose roller?
A nose roller is a device that you use to flatten down the nose hairs in your nose without any trouble.
If you put pressure on your nose at night will the bump go away?
If it were only so easy! If the bump is due to bone structure, the shape is determined either by genetics or the way it healed due to injury. Pressure won't make a difference.

How does a bump on your nose affect your breathing?
The bump on the nose is caused by some bacterial infection or by some other problem. The bump swells up significantly and reduces the space for the entrance of air into the trachea. Hence, air enters the nose in spurts.
