Dear Luhan,The bridge of the nose is made of bone, and it can absolutely be changed in surgery.

The photographs demonstrate a shallow bony bridge, and a high cartilaginous bridge closer to the tip. The tip cartilages are also overdeveloped compared to be underdeveloped nasal bones.  To build up  shallow nasal bones requires  cartilage grafts harvested from inside the nose. The dorsal hump which is composed of cartilage can be shaved down and the tip adjusted accordingly.
