Can I shave a tiny bump off my nose with local anesthesia? I would love to smooth it out but I don't want a huge change. (photo)

I've always liked my nose, its small and looks good from the front. But lately I've been noticing that I have a minor bump in certain angles when I look at photos of myself. I heard its possible just to rasp the hump under local anesthesia, am I a good candidate for this? Would the cost be less than normal rhinoplasty?
