Is there a way to make nostrils straight instead of circular?

January 14, 2016
Asked By:AsherC in Kansas City, MO

I've noticed that my nostrils are circular and wide. I am a black male and would like to make my nose look more European like and less wide and undefined. I would rather have a longer defined nose with straight nostrils instead of a wide nose with circular nostrils. Is this possible to achieve on a ethnic nose?
