Can I Get Only Nose Rasping Done Instead of Full Rhinoplasty? (photo)

September 16, 2013
Asked By:872110

I like my nose, it's small & cute but the only problem I have is that from the side I have the biggest bump that is so noticeable. It makes me very insecure and I can't even take pictures of myself except from the front because the bump is that noticeable. I wanted to know if a surgeon can just shave it down instead of breaking my nose? & how much would it cost?
