No: Using pressure will not fix a "hump" on your nose.

Not realistic: Cannot push in a bony lump on nose. Best to accept the hump or consider having rhinoplasty.

No: If you can barely notice it and don't want surgery be happy and live with it. Be happy with yourself as you are and no one will notice.

No: If it's barley noticeable to you then other people probably don't see it at all! don't worry about it. People are not as observant of others as you may think!

Rhinoplasty: The only way you can treat a dorsal hump is by surgery. Pushing will not accomplish much.
