Removing Nose Bump Without Breaking the Nose?

O
OhKathrynnJul 13, 2009

I am 20 years old and I have always felt insecure about the bump on my nose. I have been reading a lot about Nose surgery and I have heard people just getting it filed down without having to break the nose.What is this called? What is the procedure? And what are the estimated costs?
