Rhinoplasty : Rhinoplasty entails reconstructing the cartilage underneath the skin of the nose and incisions for the procedure are typically made within the nostril. No scars should be noticeable as a result of the procedure. However, during recovery, you will ensure facial swelling and bruising and be required to wear bandages.

Some will: Some folks are very observant of facial features. Children in particular. Only the unkind or indecent adult would make you uncomfortable and hopefully those are not your friends. I consider you lucky that it could be repaired. Some cannot!
