Should I Narrow the Width of my Nose if I Am Asian? Would It Look Unnatural?

August 24, 2012
Asked By:kimchiyummy

I have an weird nose for an Asian. I wanted to shave down the dorsal bump, but during the consultation the surgeon also suggested narrowing the width of my nose. I've never had any issues with the width before, but after he pointed it out I realized that my nose is pretty wide. Would just reducing the cartilage on the tip would be enough to narrow my nose, or should I take in the sides too? Would this look fake? Asians don't usually have narrow noses, and I want to look natural. Any thoughts?
