Is it common to only have one side of your nose broken during Rhinoplasty? (photo)

My surgeon only broke my left side. He said right side dos not need it. My nose was curved to the right so this confuses me. Is this common? I would assume after rasping down bridge you'd have to break both sides to close gap. My right side has large bump on it now.
