Would Rhinoplasty Be Worth It? (photo)

Without a full set of photos it's a little hard to tell but from what I see I would tend to counsel you to think long and hard about surgery. We have a saying in Plastic Surgery that "the enemy of good is better." That means if you have a good result or a good look and try to change it there is very little room for improvement weighing against the risks of surgery. When analyzing a nose for a cosmetic rhinoplasty I try to see what makes that nose look like it does not belong on... more
