Hello! For the past couple years I have been tormented by my nose bridge. My face is pretty well balanced aesthetically EXCEPT for my nose. The large prominent bridge throws everything off, giving me a more unattractive appearence. From whaf I've read, the area around and including the nose bridge is bone. I also read that the size can be reduced or the bridge shape changed by getting rid of or shaping the bone. Would be possible in my case? What are the risks? Thank you so much in advance.
