I asked this question but didn't produce enough pictures thanks to Dr. kim who let me know! I'd like to make my nose smaller, i have a nostril flare and especially when I smile. The bridge of my nose is pretty small I'm sure that adds to the size of my nostrils. Which plastic surgery should I opt for?
