Will Rhinoplasty Make a Big Difference to my Nose?

Thank you for the info and help. Do you think, judging from my photo, will there be a significant change? I've heard it takes a while for some changes to occur after.

Discuss nasal changes you desire with your surgeon. #rhinoplasty

I recommend you decide three things you dislike about your nose, and then discuss these with your surgeon.

In rhinoplasty if the difference is important to you...

With cosmetic surgery and often in nasal shaping we focus on differences and imperfections which don't trouble those around us. Sometimes even after a procedure friends my note that you appear confident and well though they cannot pick out the changes. Even small changes in a nose can make a big difference to an individual. If you can't get it off your mind the result is likely to be worth the effort. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd
