Cartilage is protruding in front of my nose, because of the cartilage in the back. If I fix this will it change my look?

tennis1983
I visited a board certified plastic surgeon who said the reason my cartilage is protruding in the front is because of the cartilage behind it. he said its an internal problem that needs to be fixed. Could someone explain this procedure to me? He did but in the moment I didn't soak it all in. He said it would be a rhinoplasty procedure and it wouldn't change the my total look just fix it. I would like further explanation of this procedure and why at age 34 it would just start protruding? Thanks.
