Is It Worth Me Having Rhinoplasty? (photo)

Hello, Im a 19 year old male. For ages now I've been obssesing over how crocked my nose is. I went to an ENT doctor and he said mild deviation of the nasal septum to the left. But I think it looks like my external nose has deviated to the right. My doctor doesn't think it's worth me going for septoplasty or rhino. But I'm not sure. How bad do you think it is and would you reccomend to me getting something done? Thanks

Does the cost of the procedure and the recovery make it worth it? -> your call.

That is a truly personal decision. Seek a few in person examinations. You have a S shaped deviation the upper is to the left and the tip appears to go right. So the term S shaped.
