Is it permissible to perform cosmetic surgery on the nose by removing a prominent bone (hump) from it, without altering its original shape, given that it has affected the questioner’s psychological well-being, and is not a congenital condition?

We see no objection to performing a surgery to remove the protruding bone without altering the shape of the nose, as this falls under the category of rectifying a defect, not seeking beauty or enhancing attractiveness.
