Plan on getting a RhinoPlasty in the next two years!, but I would like to educate myself on the process, types and cost associated with the surgery. My goal is to find a Ethnic Rhinoplasty surgeon in New England area. Always disliked my big nose, but I plan on doing something about it. I would like a more symmetrical smaller nose that fits my face and ethnic background with masculine features. I would like to reduce the bulbous tip, wide nose and not so much flat from side views. Any suggestions?
