Rasping sides of nasal bridge. Any suggestions? (photos)

That should be possible. Rhinoplasty to address the size and shape of your nose should help you address your concerns. You have to understand that there is no such thing as the “perfect” nose. As rhinoplasty surgeons, we are able to improve the structure and function of the nose to address specific issues you have with how your nose looks and and how well you can breathe. Perfect symmetry does not exist in nature. Attempts to improve the symmetry of your nose should be aimed at achieving an improvement in your asymmetry to the point where it is no longer very noticeable. If you look carefully enough, you will always be able to find imperfections. The goal is a normal looking nose that is in harmony with the rest of your anatomy.

In order to get rid of those bumps on the side of the nose, I feel it will be necessary to break the bones.  I don't think that rasping alone will take care of the problem

Hello and thank you for your question. It is possible to perform rasping of the bone edges only under local anesthesia.  This will be a less expensive option.  However, I believe this is be dangerous of not allowing your surgeon access to the entire anatomy of your nose.  Small changes in any one part of the nose affect the appearance of the other parts of the nose.  It is always best to avoid the "quick fix" type of surgery in rhinoplasty and instead commit to the full surgery.  Although more costly, this will ultimately give you a more reliable chance of a satisfactory longterm outcome.    With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.
