I have thick oily skin. I'm under the impression that my nostrils are too big for my nose shape, and that they don't look good. I also feel like my face would look better if my nose bridge was higher. I would also like to make a nasal augmentation, to make my nose more protuberant.My nose bridge is also a bit deformed.
