Never seen a nose like mine; is it possible to fix it? (Photos)

Asked By:musicloveforever in Manhasset, NY

Is it possible to make the nostrils smaller with it still looking natural? It's easier to take something away than to add something and it seems like you would need to ADD skin/cartilage and is it possible?
