I broke my nose a while ago since then i have a huge hump and wide bottom... from the front its not too bad but when i smile and from the side its really wide and its hooked. Im having a septoplasty next month to fix my breathing and wanted to know if that improves the appearance. If not can non surgical rhinoplasty fix my problem with the hump and the hook shape when i smile? i heard botox around the nose can help the appearance when i smile is this true?
