How does shaving the nose bridge to create a curve affect the appearance of the nose from the front?

Asked By:shejeje in Fort Belvoir, Virginia

Does it look flatter? Wider? Is there less definition around the nose bridge? I have a straight, bulbous nose and because of this my nose often looks really swollen and sticks out. Will shaving down the nose bridge to create a slope make my nose look softer and more subtle from the front as well?
