I have a 16 year old Gortex implant for height and the cartilage at tip was brought together. Nostrils were not reduced. However nose is still very bulbous and nostrils are too wide when I smile. What options are there and how large/where will scars be? Last photo is the size I would like nostrils to be when smiling.
