What's up with my off center nose and is it fixable? (Photo)

ElizapApr 10, 2014
I truly believe my nose has gotten more off centre as I have aged..Is this possible? or have I just become more aware of it? What I really want to know if this is a fixable problem and is it a very lengthy or dangerous procedure?

A  genioplasty and a rhinoplasty will both have an effect on the profile of your facial features. Performing a genioplasty will only help with facial balance by augmenting the chin, not changing the  nose. For many examples, please see the link below
