Can I Just Have my Nasal Bones Rasped a 1-2mm to Bring Them in Line with the Rest of my Nose? (photo)

The picture is inadequate to give a complete response but it looks as though the bony projections might be able to be treated by rasping only. The overall with the nasal base needs to be evaluated to see if this is a possibility.

The nasal bones can be reduced in height with a rasp, but to narrow them needs an osteotomy ( the bones broken)

The problem with rasping only is that the nose will appear broad and flat and that is a result that I suspect will not meet your expectations. A rhinoplasty is about proportion, so to decrease height often means you need to narrow the nose to maintain proportion.

I hope that is of some help

 Most patients need osteotomies after a hump has been removed. In this particular case, the top of the bridge is quite wide and will become even more wide when  only rasping is performed. Osteotomies will be required, and this can be performed with closed rhinoplasty techniques. Please see our closed rhinoplasty  photo gallery link below
