I have a small Asian nose with a bulbous tip, all I want to do is just make it pointy and refined. Surgery or fillers? (photo)

Asked By:lilsnguyen in San Jose, CA

I want a tall, pointy nose that fits me. A perfect example everyone would know is something like Kylie Jenner's nose. I was wondering if it would require surgery (if I want it to last, well my whole life) or if I should get fillers? I heard somewhere that if you constantly get fillers done, somehow it'll adjust and over time, you'll just need a small touch up of radiesse? There are no droops, no problems with when I smile, no bridge and I'd considered it tall. Attached are photos of my nose.
