My nose seems too wide for my face. There is also a lack of definition at the bottom of my nose where it seems to round off. I have slightly apparent bone on the bridge of my nose coming down the left side. This is not really an issue as from the side there are no bumps. I want to be realistic about a potential rhinoplasty so I know what exactly to look for when I start researching surgeons. Thanks! (Red splotch is a broken blood vessel, a whole other issue)

Bumps along the internal suture line can happen. They resolve on their own. However, since your is red I think you need to see your surgeon for simple drainage. In any case. do not worry. This problem can be taken care of.
Bruising is caused by blood that percolates into the tissues during Rhinoplasty, or any surgery. Blood has red cells which have hemosiderin pigment in their hemoglobin. Bruises can stain the skin when this hemosiderin pigment has been deposited and the stains can outlast the normal...
There is no way to change the appearance of the nose with pressure while sleeping. The cartilaginous structures of the nose have a certain degree of flexibility, but surgical intervention is required to change their shape.
