Can Rhinoplasty Give Me a 'Normal' Nose? (photo)
I'm getting a Septorhinoplasty done in a little less than 3 weeks. I'm super anxious/excited, but I don't want to get my hopes up too much. I broke/fractured my nose when I was in the 2nd grade. As a result, I have a bump/a deviated septum. I think it looks HUGE from the side at an angle. I'm really self conscious about my nose in general, and I'd just like some professional opinions/possible reassurance.

Can Rhinoplasty Give Me a 'Normal' Nose?
Aesthetically speaking the nose is a bit large with a dorsal hump and the chin is quite weak. The nose can be reduced and thinned to make it more naturally attractive but if the chin remains weak, the upper face will always appear top heavy. A Chin Implant should be considered at the same time as the closed Rhinoplasty...hope this helps.

After you share this info it's easier for your surgeon to address your specific concerns and take it one step further into discussing what they feel may work best for you.
If you trust your surgeon and they have a good reputation then most likely everything...

Normal
Cosmetic Surgeons perform surgery because their patients do not like a specific issue regarding their features. So, you and your surgeon must identify what needs to be done surgically for you and then determine the likelihood that you will obtain the results that you are seeking.

What is normal
Let's start by saying there is no such thing as a normal nose because there are 100's of thousands of normal noses. The question really is will a rhinoplasty give me a better appearing nose or enhance my appearance. If that is the question then the answer is YES!
You don't have a horrible nose. It is slightly wide and has a significant bump. You also say there is a deviated septum and this is going to be fixed as well. I think a rhinoplasty either...

Rhinoplasty
Hello, you are a good candidate for a combination procedure. In your case a rhinoplasty and a chin augmentation is required to give you a good facial balance. You can expect a good end result. With the combination of procedures you will like the way you look from every angle.

Septoplasty
Septoplasty deals with the nasal septum if you have deviated septum. Septoplasty does not change the appearance of the nose. You need aa RHINOPLASTY to change the shape, hump and tip of the nose.
