From the front it’s bulbous and misshapen, but from the side pointed and even (which I like). How can I fix this? Is surgery outrageous for an issue this minor?
Answer: Crooked nose I agree that your profile is good. Correcting s crooked nose is difficult but even more so when you don’t want or need your nose reduced at all. Reducing a nose does facilitate making it straighter.

Answer: #slantedNose In your photo the bone part of the bridge looks straight and symmetric. This slant is due to a bend in the septal cartilage. The fix involves surgery specifically a septoplasty. The septum has to be isolated from surrounding tissues and then either a trapdoor cut is made near the tip or a central section of the septum is removed leaving mucosa and outermost parts of the septal cartilage intact in order to fix the problem i.e. straighten the septum. The surgery is not outrageous and in fact is fairly common. As for the tip part of what you are seeing is due to the septal deviation. You can have the septoplasty alone or in combination with tip surgery. That is up to you.I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding your surgery. My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship in order to know if this assessment is valid.
