Is there any way to reduce the severity of a dorsal hump nose without rhinoplasty?

No: A nasal 'hump' is a combination of bone and cartilage that would need to be reduced surgically to correct the prominence.

Dorsal hump: A dorsal hump is addressed in rhinoplasty y taking down the bone and perhaps a little cartilage. Without this maneuver, the hump cannot be eliminated.
