Is There a Way to Only Change the Width of the Nose? Mine is Very Wide.

March 5, 2013
Asked By:Lane. in Jersey City, NJ

I like the overall shape of my nose, but the bones (bridge?) of my nose is wide. I'd like for it to be more narrow but I'm terrified of having to break the bone. Is there a way to narrow my nose without making a drastic change to my entire nose?
