My nose looks too wide when I smile, what are my options? (Photos)

Asked By:ginny28696

Hi! I like my nose generally when I’m not smiling (the bottom could be a little smaller though), but when I smile, I feel like it gets very wide and the bottom under part gets lower. Is there a good way to fix this? I’m scared that rhinoplasty would be too dramatic!
