I am an asian female college student, and my nose is huge. I do not want my nose to be super beautiful but I want to narrow it down. After examine my photo I think cut part of nostrils and cartilage and/or bones in my nose to make my nose thinner and smaller.

How to deal with the "cartilage healing may shift" problem?
