The skin on my nostrils is thick and one side of my nostrils hangs down more than the other. And the bottom part of my nose i.e. nose tip and nostrils are wider than the top part of my nose, the area between the eyes (if you measure from eye to eye) I would like to have a nose similar to Alessandra Ambrosio where top part of nose is bigger and nose tip is small. Please suggest any surgeries I may need. I really want to research about nose surgery techniques. Thanks a lot.

Plans for rhinoplasty

It's impossible to make suggestions without a photo. You obviously have given this a lot of thought - which is a good thing. It's always good when patients are specific with what they want to change.
