I know that if I got a nose job it would bring out my other features. But I feel like my whole face is messed up. Like my eyes and eyebrows are uneven and my jaw and mouth is weird. Will a nose job help things look more proportioned? Or do I need a lot more done?? There's a difference in my right side and left side. When I see myself in the mirror I think I'm okay but in pictures and video I'm like a monster! What should I do?!?

Unhappy with nose

Ugly?
First of all, you are not ugly. Second of all, you would need to post more pictures from various angles for us to comment on the symmetry of your face and make recommendations on procedures. Most people could use a little refining of their nose, so you are not alone. Good luck.

Facial analysis before cosmetic surgery
There is no such thing as perfect left right symmetry in nature. Although a rhinoplasty may or may not benefit you (it is difficult to tell from your photo) your concerns with multiple other areas and different impressions when you see your self in the mirror vs. video/photos is a red flag against having surgery. Given your current state of mind it is highly likely you will not be happy with any surgery no matter how well it is performed. That could lead to many problems down the road...
