Can I get a western nose? Please?

nilesmusic
I understand that the african american nose tends to have thicker skin,wider nostrils, flatter bridge etc...and then there's the whole facial harmony thing. However would it be impossible to create the same shape as a western nose and how "off" would it look? Speaking in terms of my own nose i already have a decent bridge all I want is my tip redefined and a nostril reduction. Would still be impossible?
