Can a dorsal hump be restored? (Photo)

Asked By:Jeff2313 in Sacramento, CA

fractured it in 08 which resulted in a bony uneven dorsal hump, more so on my left side than my right (Asian Indian descent). Had an open reduction nasal fracture procedure done in 2010 to "fix" it. Bony hump was rasped down but looks weird, especially at a 45 deg angle. It was only after the surgery's final result that i had realized that my nose wasn't bad looking to begin with. It looks flat now like it's been run over by a car. Too much as been shaven off. Any possible way to get it back?
