Looking for Rhinoplasty with Local + IV Sedation in CA?

I'm looking to have Rhinoplasty with IV Sedation or Twilight Sedation. I live in California and my budget is $5k-6k. I want to remove the bump on the bridge of my nose, and want to make my bulbous tip and nostrils smaller and more refined. Is there anyone who does Rhinoplasty with IV Sedation or Twilight Sedation for around $5-6k in CA? Thank You.
