How much smaller can my big nose be made? (photos)

October 5, 2016
Asked By:angelanosebest in Scotland

I have a really wide nose with a bulbous tip, large nostrils and my nose is also projected too far from my face. It's not harmonious with the rest of my face. My brother has had rhinoplasty done on his nose but he thinks it's still too big, I'm worried this will happen to me. How much smaller it can actually be made? I want to be realistic but not be left with a nose that is still too big. I am booking my consultation tomorrow so I guess I will find out in a few weeks. Thanks in advance!
