Asked By:zalie.sara in Richmond, Virginia

I am biracial and have had issues with extremely thick scarring in the past (after breast reduction). I want 1-2 surgeries to alter the shape and size of my hooked nose. It is very large with a tall bridge and wide rounded nostrils. I am looking for a *dramatic *change with minimal scarring and no breathing issues.
