Can my Bulbous Nose Be Fixed by Using a Closed Rhinoplasty? (photo)

July 10, 2012

I'm of mixed Asian-Caucasian heritage, and I want my nose to look more Caucasian rather than Asian. I really dislike how bulbous it is and how wide it is, especially when I smile. I just want my nose to be slightly smaller and not as round. I can tell that the skin is very thick, so I know it is much more difficult to make my nose pointier. I would rather my nose be fixed by performing a closed rhinoplasty. Is it possible, and what should be done to make my nose look as natural as possible?
