I really want rhinoplasty. I definitely want a hump reduction. When i smile my nose gets very wide and from the front creates almost a piggish look with my nostrils (not sure what the issue is on my nose that causes that).

Should i wait & do them all together with plastic surgeon or do them separately for financial/insurance purposes?
