Do I Need a Nose Job?

I broke my nose when I was 13, it been 7 yrs now and it has a bump on it and appears longer. Would it look better if I got a rhinoplasty done to get rid of the bump (because my nose seems asymmetrical.The left side as shown in the picture is more sharp and the right side which I dare not show is more curvy)? And can I achieve a more feminine looking bridge of the nose with surgery? Is it possible to have amazingly gorgeous results or is getting a nose job something I should stay far away from?

Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is great to change the things you don't like about your nose. There are things about your nose that could be "improved" but what is gorgeous is a matter of opinion.

It's not a bad idea to actually bring in magazine pictures of noses that you like so that you and your surgeon can get on the same page. Good luck. more

Do I need a nose job?

Nobody "needs" a nose job. Your photo doesn't give much information however if you are unhappy with the bump and other areas of asymmetry you should certainly explore getting it fixed. You should definitely have wonderful results. Be sure though to have a computer imaging done before to be certain your definition of amazingly gorgeous is the same as your surgeon's.

Chin implant and rhinoplasty can work synergistically

Based on your single, poorly focussed photograph, I think you would benefit from a chin implant and a rhinoplasty that includes a dorsal hump reduction. Seek out an experienced plastic surgeon in your area for an opinion. Talk to 3 or 4 of them before deciding on surgery.

Rhinoplasty after 'Broken Nose'

Nasal surgery can most likely improve the appearance of your nose more to your liking. A thorough consultation with a surgeon that has experience in nasal surgery is essential however. During a consultation you can voice your concerns and the surgeon will ask pertinent questions about your issues and perform a complete examination.
