Can a Bump Leftover from a Clavicle Fracture Be Removed?

I fractured my left clavicle about 4.5 months ago. Surgery was not indicated, and my doctor did not anticipate I would be left with a bump. Well, after it healed I did have a bump. I've been told not to worry because it's just an aesthetic concern, but it bothers me a lot. It looks like a small notch that pokes through my skin. I'd like to have it removed. Is this possible? Are there major risks involved? How is the procedure usually done? Thanks in advance for any advice!
