Can this degree of over rotation be corrected? (Photos)

May 16, 2025
Asked By:Kayemkay66 in Scotland, United Kingdom

I’ve genuinely disliked my nose since I was old enough to form my own opinion (so since the age of around 4). I was bullied throughout my school years because of it, and - 60 next year - still dislike it. No amount of contouring improves it,. It’s just a small, bulbous, caricature like annoyance. All I see in the mirror and on photos are nostrils! Can this degree of over rotation be corrected or improved in any way? I dream of a straight, chiselled nose (I’d be thrilled with a nose like Catherine, Princess of Wales), but realistically less nostril on show would be heavenly! Any advice would be so gratefully received. Thank you.
