Will a rhinoplasty improve the appearance of my nose? Broken playing a sport (photos)
April 12, 2023
Asked By:LSP11 in Perth, Western Australia, Australia
I am 22 year old female with fair (and probably thin) skin. I weigh 53kg. I broke my nose 12 weeks ago playing sport, and did not have it reset as it was only a confirmed break ~3 weeks post injury. Will a rhinoplasty improve the appearance of my nose? The dorsal hump is more obvious post injury, and there is some asymmetry (or so I think), especially under certain lighting. Thanks so much for any advice!
