Button, bulbous-like nose. Can I do a closed rhinoplasty? (photo)

Asked By:GBR15 in New York, New York

Hi, I’m a 33 year old female interested in getting a rhinoplasty to reduce the size/width of my tip, not change the shape, and make my nostrils slight less flared and more symmetrical. My nose is a button, bulbous-like nose. I absolutely don’t want to touch the bridge or the swoop. It is perfect to me and most people get surgery to make their nose profiles look exactly like mine. Is it possible to do this with a closed rhinoplasty?
