In photos my nose looks terrible. I had always struggled with how my nose looked since I was 9. The sides of my nose creates this weird shadow that goes from slim to wide, this shadow isn't even a thin one but a wide one that stretches out to the width of my alars. Would I need to get the sidewalls of my nose straightened? Or would I need to get my alars fixed to narrow it out? Or both? What surgery should be recommended? Is it even the side walls that is the issue? Please help!
