I have a bump that starts about 1/5 down my nose at my nasal bone and goes all the way to my nasal tip. Is it possible to shave all the way from the start of the bump to the nose tip, I’m specifically unsure if it’s ok to shave the nasal septum where my nose tip is. I’m hoping that will make my nose straight and also deproject it since the tip is forced to go back since the septum was shaved. I mainly just wanted to know if shaving down the tip area is possible as part of deprojecting the nose?
