Asked By:FUNBOBBY87

Hi, I feel my Nostrils are asymmetrical and there is too much cartilage (is it septal cartilage) showing inside my nostrils. I also feel the tip is bulbous and my nose appears too big and too turned up for my face. Would reduction of this cartilage inside my nostrils be possible? And would this improve nostril shape? I want my nose and nostrils to be smaller and symmetrical, and my tip/nose more narrow and refined. What would need to be done to achieve this? Thanks!
