Is there a way to fix the tip of my nose that sticks upward? (Photo)

Asked By:Marie1317 in Iowa City, IA

I hate my nose because the tip sticks upward. It's often called a "Cindy Lou Who" nose. I hate being photographed because of it and am extremely self conscious. I have been considering surgery but all of the before and after pictures I have seen are to fix a large bump in the bridge of the nose. Is there a way to fix the way my nose sticks up at the end or should I leave it alone? Thank you.
