Refining Nose Sides Possible with a Nose Job?

February 10, 2010
Asked By:Saphira87 in New York

Hi there, I have been considering a "nose job" for a while where I would just want the sides of my nose thinned and refined (and perhaps the tip refined a bit if it was really needed for balance). My main focus are the sides though and I'm happy with the rest of my nose. I think it's cute and petite from the side it just looks kind of piggy and thick from the front. What do you recommend for me and could I achieve my desired look without having my bones chiseled? Thanks
