Many people can become preoccupied with the size and shape of their nose, especially when their nose is not straight or has a lump on the bridge. Genetics as well as disease or injury can all affect the appearance of the nose. Changing the shape of the nasal tip, the nasal bridge, the straightness or angles of the nose can all be achieved with cosmetic enhancement using both surgical and non-surgical procedures, although it is important to remember that we must not compromise the ability to breathe with any desired alterations.
