I developed a bump on one side of my nose from a nasal fracture. It isn't particularly hump like, but it is very noticeable from the 3/4 view when I turn my head left. From right 3/4, profile, and front views, the bump is nearly invisible. Is it possible to shave the bump without osteotomies? Would this make my bridge more narrow? From the straight view, my nose has a natural hourglass shape, with some bowing on both the left and right sides of the bridge. Would this make the bridge uneven?
