Asked By:Diogo Lopes in São Miguel do Rio Torto, Santarém, Portugal
Hello, my name is DIogo and i am 24 years old. I have a nose with very similar shape as the guy in the first picture. It´s hard to explain by words, but basically the apex and the nostrils (ala) are on the same horizontal imaginary line, there is no deviation. On the other hand, in the secondpicture , you see a normal nose(just an example of millions), where the apex is a bit further down than the alas, putting the nostrils in a diagonal position! Is it possible to change my nose to 2ºpicture?
