Mary,
Thanks for your question regarding rhinoplasty. It is absolutely possible to only address the bump on your nose. When you come in for your consultation, the first item we address is what concerns you about your nose. If your only concern is the bump, ie you love your overall size, tip etc. then we can easily address only the bump. On occasion you need to perform something called spreader grafting to be sure the the nose is not overly narrowed when the bump is removed, but this is not difficult and will not change your nose in any way other than to be sure that it looks natural and functions well.
Please review our before and after gallery. There are many different noses on the site and each one has been altered to meet the patients wishes. We do not try to make all of our nosed match one another, but rather to make alterations specific to each patient’s desires. We look forward to meeting you.
