Have Wide Nostrils, How Could I Have this Corrected While Keeping the Nose Proportionate? (photo)
Hi all, I've attached photos of my nose. I am bothered by the width of my nose, it's too wide. In my opinion the cause is my nostril width. If I were to have this corrected, will this correction cause other areas of my nose to be now more pronounced, for eg, the tip. I've got the profile view figured out. Much thanks.

Wide Nostrils
Nostril contour and width can be seen best with a base view of your nose. If the nostrils do need to be reduced an experienced surgeon will make the nostrils proportional to the rest of your nose.

I am not so sure that is the case. For facial proportions the distance between the outer corners of the bottom of the nose should be equal to the distance between the inner and outer corners of an eye. It is hard to say what that relationship is in your case because there is a bar across the eyes in your posted photos. My estimate is it is pretty close if not not equal.
