Baby nose correction (nasal aesthetics/rhinoplasty) is not recommended medically and only comes into consideration in very exceptional cases — when there is a serious deformity causing breathing difficulties.
At birth, the shape of the nose is usually not symmetrical; it becomes compressed passing through the birth canal, and as swelling reduces over the first weeks, asymmetry may become more apparent. The vast majority of noses that parents worry about as "flat," "crooked," or "not pointed" straighten out naturally as facial bones develop. Actual surgical correction is needed only when the nose prevents breathing — such as in choanal atresia — and the child has been referred to an ENT specialist.
Summary: Nose surgery for appearance alone is not performed on babies. You can discuss shape concerns with a pediatrician or ENT specialist, but most babies' natural development is sufficient without intervention.
