I have severe allergies. Should I get a rhinoplasty? (Photo)

September 1, 2020
Asked By:Ari Flyy in Chicago, IL

Greetings and Salutations! I'm from Chicago (Naperville) and would like your professional opinion on a rhinoplasty procedure for myself. I'll be 48 soon and suffer from severe allergies, asthma (inflamed by allergies), and sinusitis. I was hit in the the nose breaking up a fight on the Westside and my breathing hasn't been right since due to the hump on my nose. I wear glasses, but mostly contacts. Thank you in advance.
