Would my nose be considered wide? (photo)

May 11, 2015
Asked By:ANR321 in Austin, TX

I come from a Russian family, and Russian noses in my family are usually a little on the wide side. Sometimes they tend to be bulbous at the tip. My tip isn't bulbous, however my nose looks a little wide to me. I know that occasionally these things are all in your head so I'm looking for an unbiased professional opinion. If it is wide, is there any chance of the nostrils slimming down and becoming more narrow over time? I'm still developing and I've heard tissue thins as you age.
