Can the hump on my nose bridge be removed without needing any other adjustments or will it make my nose appear bigger? (photos)

Asked By:Tough997568 in Boston, Massachusetts

Have wanted to remove the hump on my bridge for many years. After recently losing weight, feel like my nose is more pronounced on my face now. This may sound ridiculous but any time I do those "who do I look like" celebrity AI generator things, it always spits out Barbara Streisand. And hey, if I had her voice, I wouldn't care... My question is, could I only fix the hump, or would it make the rest of it look bigger and need to make other adjustments below?
