Remove a nose bump - will the nose be wider from the front?

Thank you for your question. 
Yes, the nose will look slightly wider if the bump is removed.
Oftentimes, we do use osteotomies to broom the bones back so that it does not
look wider.  The fracturing of the bones
sometimes is necessary to close an open roof deformity which may cause an
inverted V.  That is why osteotomies are
often needed for the surgery.  I do my rhinoplasty
procedures under general anesthesia, so that is not a painful process to the
patient.  I hope this helps. 

You are right.  Simply removing the bump will make your nose appear wide and flat.  That is why the bones need to be broken and narrowed at the same time as the hump removal to create the ideal outcome.

  Yes, when removing nasal bump on the nose, the nose will be  wider.  The dorsal hump is composed of both bone and cartilage which must be shaved down in order to remove it.  Once the hump has been removed, an open roof, flat-top nasal deformity is created.  Osteotomies are mandatory when the dorsal hump is removed.   The nose will look very strange after a hump removal osteotomies.
