Nasal Bone Narrowing for Rhinoplasty?

Pickel
My surgeon informed me that he will need to narrow my nasal bone in order to accomplish the desired look of my reconstructed nose. My understanding is the nasal bone must be broken. Is this true? What type of complications will surface with the nasal bone narrowing procedure? Is this a standard procedure in Rhinoplasty surgery?
