I have a question regarding the potential reduction of my fleshy nose and symmetry adjustment. I feel as if I need a reduction in the bulk around the tip and nostrils so my nose won't appear too bold or big for my face. also is it possible to adjust my nose so that it looks a bit more symmetrical? how much would these procedures cost along with anesthesia? my large nose has been a great insecurity of mine and I would like to correct it just to enhance my overall confidence.
