Based on my research, the surgeon will alter the bone and cartilage in the nose according to what better fits the face and the needs of the patient. I understand that the thickness of the skin cannot be altered. When I smile with my teeth or laugh, my nose appears very large. I usually hold my nose in to make it look smaller. I want my nose to be less wide, my nostrils not to protrude, and overall smaller w/o me holding it in. Will cartilage be removed?
