I had closed rhinoplasty July 2015. Now I still have a residual boney hump and I have booked to have this rasped in July 2016. I would like to know the risks involved. My doctor says I shouldn't worry and it's a very minor surgery under local anaesthetic with a tablet to relax me. I want to know if it could cause any changes to the shape of my nose?
