I had septolasty, sinus and turbinate surgery. ENT said he could even out my dorsal hump at same time. After swelling went down over a year ago, I have several dents on the bridge of my nose and the tip seems to have dropped. My nose looks huge when I smile. I'm got engaged and am looking to do something about my nose without breaking the bank??? I've attached a picture of what my nosecond looks like and what I'd like it to be. Thanks
