Can Closed Rhinoplasty Be Used to Lower and Narrow the Nose's Bridge?

9941anon
I've heard that closed rhinoplasty causes much less swelling and bruising and requires less recovery time. I can't take much time off of work for recovery, so I'm very interested in this approach. However, besides tip work, I would like to lower the bridge of my nose and possibly make it a bit narrower. Can this be done with closed rhinoplasty?
