Will shaving down my nose make it appear more symmetrical? (photos)

November 2, 2024
Asked By:Peaceful880199 in England, United Kingdom

I have an asymmetrical nose, my nose bends to the left. As a result my nose doesn’t appear to have a huge hump from my left profile but it is very noticeable from the right profile. it can be seen from the front too. Is it possible to slightly shave down the left side of my nose for my nose to appear more symmetrical? Would like to preserve the original shape of my nose, but just better. With minor changes. — I do not mind keeping a slight hump for natural results.
