Rhinoplasty Without Removing Nose Bump?

cream
I am having a consultation next week for rhinoplasty. My concern is I want to keep the shape of my nose. I have a 'bump' on it. I want the length reduced but if possible keep the shape similar as possible (including a bump). Is this possible or does reduction require an alteration which MUST remold the nose to remove the bump as well? Can the nose be shortened, but retain the bump? I've yet to see anyone with a nose where the bump is still there. Are my expectations realistic? All answers will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
