Hello, I would like a rhinoplasty, but I am afraid of having too much taken off. My nose looks pretty good except I feel it is a little too wide and bulbous. It's not big by any means but if it were a little smaller I'd be happy. In fact, I want the changes to be so minor that nobody else notices. I'd rather have to go for two surgeries to reduce my nose than to have one that took too much away. Is it possible to perform such a small change?
