Asked By:heyyyo in California City, CA

Hi, i have a long midface (made up of a long nose) coupled with a prominent nasal spine, so prominent/low down that it pushes my lip down (pictured) and gives me collumellar show and makes my nose droop. Is a midface reduction a good option along with a anterior nasal spine reduction?
