From the front, you can look right into my nostrils. Is it possible to make them face down? (Photos)

Asked By:radpanderp in East Setauket, NY

I'm fine with the general shape of my nose but my nostrils bother me. It's like a pigs snout almost, you can see straight into my nostrils. I'm fine with their size. I would just prefer them facing down instead of forward. I've been looking into "Alar Rim Retraction" but I'm not sure if that's the right thing for me since it also seems to reduce the size of the nostrils. I would be extremely thankful for some input on this.
