Rasping Dorsal Hump Sides?

selida
I have a small dorsal hump (in height) which is flared out on the sides. I am male, and I don't want the height of the hump to change; I just want the width to be narrower. The last surgeon I saw suggested rasping the sides and leaving the bridge, which is what I want. Two other surgeons want to break the bone. I don't want my nose to look very different, I just want the sides of the hump gone. Does rasping sound like a reasonable procedure?
