Asked By:12345charles in New York, NY

Hi im a 22 years old man and i would like to refine my nosetip and make my nosetrils smaller (specially when i smile). I was wondering if there would be a "packing" inside my nose after the surgery if we don't touch the bridge? (I know it tilts to the left a little but i don't wanna change it.) And will it take off the "too much skin" i have on my cheeks (look at the blue circle)? And can we make local anesthesia? Thanks a looot and sorry for my english! :)
