My daughter is 19, and had the surgery you are having at your same age. She felt it improved the appearance of her nose (narrowed it and evened it), but it also improved her breathing through that nostril. She went on to have a second nose surgery the following year to fine-tune it, and the apearance improved even more. Her nose looks the same as the rest of the family's!! Good luck,,,you'll be happy you did it.
