How bad is the bruising and swelling after a slight dorsal hump shave? I'm male

Asked By:mango9244 in Toronto, ON

i have a very slight dorsal hump and I would like to get it shaved down. Is the bruising /swelling associated with this type of procedure dependant on how much is shaved down? Also if that is the only procedure performed does it still result in tip swelling as well or would the tip not be impacted by it? Finally, if the hump is shaved down I under the 2 two sides of the nose are then pushed together to close the gap from shaving. Will that make my tip narrow as well or will it remain as is?
