Is It Possible to Shave the Sides of Nasal Bone?

September 9, 2009
Asked By:escape89 in New Zealand

I understand this is done for bumps on the top of the nose. The bones on the side of my nose stick out and I would like to reduce them without losing the overall shape. I also don't want my nose to look like a stick; just more refined. Can this be done?
