I have an extremely large nose with a bulbous tip and large nostrils. It doesn't suit my face since I have a recessed lower jaw and poor forward development. I'm not looking for a small, dainty nose and wouldn't even mind it being a bit on the larger side (like David Gandy's). However I would like to reduce the tip and reduce the size of the nostrils. Is this possible? What can be done? I keep reading that thick nasal skin severely restricts what can be done, and I suspect mine is thick.
