How to Fix Nose Shape?
Reshaping your nose can be achieved through surgical or non-surgical methods, depending on the desired outcome and the cause of the nasal imperfection.
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a popular cosmetic surgery that reshapes the nose to improve appearance or correct breathing problems. It's used to address issues like a deviated septum (a crooked nasal wall), a broken nose, or birth defects impacting nasal structure. Rhinoplasty can alter the size, shape, and proportions of your nose. The Mayo Clinic notes that this procedure can be used to fix injury-related issues, correct birth defects, or improve the overall appearance of the nose. Mayo Clinic Rhinoplasty

For example, fillers can address a drooping or short nose tip by re-sculpting the area. Dr. Khorasani's approach This is a temporary solution, unlike rhinoplasty which is permanent.
