Can my dorsal hump be shaved down without breaking my nose? (photos)

Giving4174
I've had a number of consults for a rhinoplasty. In general I like my nose and my tip but want to fix a slight hump that's really only visible on 3/4 view. Is it possible to fix this with rasping only given I'm otherwise happy with my front view of my bridge and tip?
