Is It Possible to Keep Your Nose Shape, but Make the Scale Size Smaller?

Hill in NJ
I have a large upturned nose, I used to be bullied and called, "Pig." I would cry... I've learned to like my nose b/c I'm a proud Russian and people have told me it's very "Russian" looking. I've realized that if my nose was just a bit smaller, it would match my features perfectly. My nose also protrudes, alot. Is it possible to keep my nose but still make it smaller? Or would they have to give me an entirely different nose? Also, may you choose a nose or do they pick whats best for you?
