Is it possible to contour my asymmetrical, bulbous nose tip (and make my nostrils smaller too)? (photo)

October 11, 2018
Asked By:brittbugs in Kentucky, KY

I'm wondering if it's impossible to make my nose look more ... conventional? I don't like saying I hate my nose, but I have not liked my nose since I was 19 (now 25). I've been researching rhinoplasty since I was 20 and haven't found anyone with a nose like mine. From a side profile my nose is too long and my nostrils are too large. My nose tip is my main concern though, as it's very bulbous and "fat" looking. It's quite asymmetrical. I hate that! What is causing this asymmetry?
