Question

I have always hated my nose. I first became self-conscious of it back in secondary school, noticing that it is bent at one angle. It makes me really unhappy and I definitely want surgery at some point.

Although I have issues with my nose, I was approached to do some modelling for a prestigious hair competition. I have a real passion for modelling, and feel that if I'm to progress further in the industry I should get surgery on my nose.

This is obviously not the one reason I want my nose fixed. I feel that it would give me a great deal more confidence in day to day life.

I am unsure what type of surgery I would need. My nose appears to be broken, making my face look unsymmetrical.

Answer

In essence, at the time of the consultation it is possible to evaluate the aspects regarding the nasal shape that bother you as well as some possible shape changes that you may find more appropriate for your facial aesthetic balance.

Ultimately, the target of the surgery is to try and achieve a degree of coronary that makes you feel comfortable as opposed to any "standard" of aesthetics.

I would be happy to see in consultation and elaborate on these points.
