William Portuese, MD · Answer

The rhinoplasty procedure can involve filing down the cartilage or bone that is pushing through your skin on the bridge line of your nose.

If you had a previous broken nose, edges of bone can stick out and cause discomfort.  However, even natural non-traumatic deformities can cause discomfort.  Either way, surgery can often correct this problem.
