Is It Necessary to Break the Nose to Fix Small Bump?

User Avatar
UK123.
I had my consultation with a surgeon about my Rhinoplasty. I only have a small bump but just a little longish nose. He said he would have to break the bone. But is it not just for when you have large humps that the nasal bone breaking is necessary? I am really freaked out. Is that necessary or avoidable? Please help me.
