I Want to Change my Nose and Lips? What Do You Think? (photo)

I'm a young male and I want my nose to be less wide. And I dont want an "ethnic nose job", I want to completely change my nose. I also want my lips to be longer and less plump. like Nicki Minaj. Would this be possible? And are there any other plastic surgeries you think I need? I don't know what to do.

Changing Nose and Lips

You can decrease the width of your nose. It is very important for the patient and surgeon to discuss the expectations for your operation - patient and surgeon must be satisfied after the surgery.
