I'm 17 years old and my nose has been bothering me forever. I am considering Rhinoplasty and based on what I have studied and read, open surgery will take MUCH longer to heal than closed surgery. I just want to get the big hump removed and get the "bird beak" turned into a normal, straight nose. That's all and I don't think I want the front changed at all. Will an open surgery be needed for this and will my dream nose take a lot of drastic work to achieve? I prefer the truth. Thanks for the help. : )
