When Osteotomies Are Used to Push the Nasal Bones Together Does This Lower the Dorsum Height?

Summerbee
Hello, I had rhinoplasty to remove a small hump from the bridge of my nose. The surgeon did this without making osteotomies- the hump was just filed down. Unfortunately, I am unsatisfied with the result as my nose looks much wider and there are 2 uneven bumps on either side (I believe them to be the edges of the nasal bones. I am wondering whether if I have this revised, would the height of the bridge of my nose be lowered through making the osteotomies? I do not want it to be any lower. Thanks.
