Excess Cartilage on Only One Side of Nose, Is this a Simple Procedure to Have Done?

Asked By:Rachel546

Hi, I have what I believe to be excess cartilage on one side of my nose near the tip and it makes it look like I have a crooked nose. It wasn't there when I was really young, it grew when I was about 12 or so and it has been there ever since. I was wondering if this would be a very simple procedure to have done because it seems like a doctor could almost just 'shave' off an extra piece of my nose. Has anyone ever dealt with something like this? Is it a simple procedure to have done?
