Is it possible to only make the nose smaller with the bridge? (Photo)

August 10, 2023
Asked By:Purpledasies in Ashley, Ohio

I am a biracial woman. I want my nose to look more delicate and smaller like my mothers. Truthfully I want to get rid of my fathers nose on my face as he severely abused me but my mother was my light. I like my side profile view, is it possible for the surgeon to not touch my bridge. Only to make my tip less bulbous and nostrils smaller? I want my face to be more softer. Would this be closed or open?
