I have been trying to do research on if undergoing rhinoplasty is for me. I need recommendations on what can be done to give me a more feminine profile. Thanks in advance :)

Hello and thank you for your question.  The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  A cleft in the medial crura of the lower lateral cartilage can be fixed during surgery.   Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this ...
