Rhinoplasty can narrow nose bridge
The goal for the upper third of the nose during a rhinoplasty procedure is to usually narrow the nasal bones once the hump has been removed.

Narrowing bridge of the nose
The bridge of the nose can certainly be narrowed and the fracture of the bones required to complete this is usually only moderately uncomfortable for most patients.

It is common to have your nose narrowed with rhinoplasty surgery.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Most likely
The bridge can be narrowed in several ways. Most of the time Osteotomies are needed (breaking of the bones). If your doctor does not pack your nose, even with the osteotomies, it should not be too painful afterwards although you will see some swelling and bruising from that.
