Hello! I've wanted rhinoplasty since I was about 16 years old when I started noticing I had a tiny boney part of my that sticks out on the left side (not dorsal hump mines on left side). It's not that noticeable other people say but to me it's all I see. How is this corrected and what is this area of the nose called? I don't want drastic change, just for the hook to my left side to go away. I appreciate any help or advice and am currently seeking a cosmetic doctor for the surgery. Thanks!!!
