Rhinoplasty: Q&A

Septorhinoplasty - is What I Want Achievable? (photo)
The photo in the red is my 3/4 view left, ideally I'd like to match this side to the other. My 3/4 right side is the less attractive side due to the crookedness of my deviated septum. If I were to straighten the septum, remove the hump, would that be enough to achieve a desired look? My fear mostly is shortening the tip or even slimming out the bridge/tip simply because I can't predict the outcome as easily and I'm not sure how much that'll alter my appearance.

Predictable septorhinoplasty results

Septo-rhinoplasty Is Not The Only Solution
Dear Breanne,
Based in your photos it seems that you could benefit the most from nasal bump elimination, nasal tip de-projection; addressing one aspect of the nose requires additional modifications to make the major fit NATURALLY your facial features.
In general, septo-rhinoplasty will achieve dual benefits: aesthetic improvement and better nasal breathing.
Without physical examination it is not possible to determine what is the best approach for your nose; the main...
