Rasping the Sides of the Nose?

man39
I have bumps post rhinoplasty on both sides of my nose ( 2years ago) and was wanting to get them rasped down. I am pretty sure they are located on the bone. When I was researching the problem, some doctors have written that is is very hard to rasp the sides of the nose and a dent can form. Is this common? Is the breaking of the nose required to reposition the bones if the bumps are rasped or would simply rasping be sufficient?Is rasping the isde walls a bad idea?
