Can I rasp my bony callus and have tip work done without septoplasty? (photos)

Asked By:bluerozez in Jersey, AR

Fractured nose years ago, saw doctor immediately. No breathing issues but left with crooked nose & hard bony callus on right side of upper nasal bridge & slight convexity on left side. My nose appears large from left 3/4 view. Mid nose on right is concave but not much bothered by it. I'd rather avoid a septoplasty for financial reasons (no insurance). I'd like minimal tip & dorsal refinement. Is it possible to rasp the bony callus & have tip reduced without touching the middle 1/3 of the nose?
