I had a revision last summer to deproject the tip of my nose but a couple of days later I noticed a small and bony bump on the bridge. My surgeon said he could shave it in the office under local anesthesia. Is it safe to do so? I read that usually after a bump is removed osteotomies are performed. Does shaving the bump will widen the bridge if osteotomies are not done. Thanks.
