I broke my nose when I was 13, it been 7 yrs now and it has a bump on it and appears longer. Would it look better if I got a rhinoplasty done to get rid of the bump (because my nose seems asymmetrical.The left side as shown in the picture is more sharp and the right side which I dare not show is more curvy)? And can I achieve a more feminine looking bridge of the nose with surgery? Is it possible to have amazingly gorgeous results or is getting a nose job something I should stay far away from?

Relax, gentle touching of your nose should have no effect on the result. Short of bumping your nose or pushing hard enough to move something (significant pressure) you will not harm your rhinoplasty
