I had a nose job about a year ago to get rid of a dorsal hump.The nose was broken and taken in a bit and the hump was rasped down.Today the hump, although less, is still quite visible and I find that with the nose being taken in it now goes from wide to thin to wide on the front profile casting shadows.
