Can I get a closed rhinoplasty with local anesthesia to shave down the nose hump just a little? (Photo)

Asked By:doritoshake in Delhi, Delhi, India

So I don’t know how I got this weird nose hump since no one in my family has it and I haven’t ever broken my nose. It’s only one one side of my nose and you can very clearly see it when I turn my head by 45 degrees. I love my nose but it’s just that hump that I hate. Another thing I would add is it that the hump isn’t hard- it goes down when u press on it then comes back up in a few minutes. I guess it’s cartilage. Can I get a microrhinoplasty just to make the hump a bit more straight?
