Is It Possible to Fix Wide, Pig-like Nose?

February 23, 2010
Asked By:changenose in Los Angeles

Most of the Rhinoplasty before and after photos involve people with a bump on their nose bridge or with noses that are too tall. I'm Asian and my nose bridge is low and short and my actualy nose is wide and round. Most people's nostrils can be seen from the side, but mine can't. They show up in front, making it look pig-like. I haven't seen any before and after photos of people' with noses like mine, so I don't know if it can be fixed.
