Asked By:guntherddr in Paris, Île-de-France, France

I have long nostrils and I feel like my nose projects too much. Is it possible to shorten both? As in shorten the nose by shortening the nostrils and not by removing size from the tip? Also is it possible to move the base of the nostrils? As I feel like my nostrils are also asymmetrical in terms of where they attach to my face.
