Is Tip Rhinoplasty Painful? Local Anesthesia

gvaa
I love my nose shape but I don't like my profile. It's just a little bit long and when I am talking or laughing the tip bends down. I am considering to do the surgery with local anesthesia. Will it be painful? I will need a little shaving of a bone too. I want to know if I will experience any pain? thanks
