Dear 12345rI suspect you are having nasal obstruction and are having your nasal turbinates reduced by electro-cautery. This will likely lead to improved nasal airway. Unless you have severe obstruction, this should not change your voice. It will not alter the external appearance of your nose or your ability to immediately wear glasses. You will likely have nasal crusting for weeks.
Thanks for your question. Based on what you said here, I imagine you're having your turbinates cauterized. For more on what a turbinate is, you can check out my blog- the link is below.

Usually the whole nose is treated to maintain an overall symmetrical look and facial balance but it is possible to just make some changes to the tip only. I usually do this under general anesthesia though, for patient comfort. I would not want to try this under just local anesthesia but...
