How do you Remove Curve Under Nose? (photo)

User Avatar

Is that curve under the nose bone or cartilage? A pre-op doctor told me that no bone (nasal spine I suppose) needs to be removed... But how do you get rid of this? I don't like that part of my nose and don't see how my nose could look good without some of this bone being removed. I attached an image. Also, would removing that bone make my nose too wide and cause nostrils to maybe need to be removed?
