Is It Possible to Rasp Down the Corners of Naturally Square Top Nasal Bones?

Asked By:South Melbourne 073012 in South Melbourne 07

Is it possible to just rasp/file down the nasal bones in a closed rhinoplasty procedure on a nose that has square/flat top nasal bones instead of a curved pyramid shape? I'm not wanting to change the tip, profile or projection of my nose. Even if only 1mm was filed off the corners to slightly curve it, that would make a difference. I'm just scared if the nasal bones have to be broken then the height of my nose will change then I'll feel like the rest of my nose will look too big.
