I'm a South Asian girl with Arabic heritage. I have a aquilline" nose with a small bump on the bridge, the bump is what makes my nose look short. When a sibling of mine had surgery some years ago with a renowed French surgeon he said that he had "never seen something similar before in the nosehump, it was impossible to remove the whole hump". Because of the hard material in the nosebump he wasn't able to shave down the nosebump correctly. Can I still keep my bump post surgery without risks?
