Revision rhinoplasty with cartilage grafts or suturing techniques can help lengthen or increase projection of the tip after the original surgery. A thorough evaluation by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon is essential.

Lengthening the nose after a rhinoplasty
Hello,
The nose can be lengthened fairly easily after a rhinoplasty by grafting some cartilage. There are many good techniques for achieving this, but the only issue is if there is enough cartilage left in your septum. If there isn't, one has to harvest it from elsewhere, preferably from the rib for this particular situation. All the best.

Hi,
It all depends on what was done the first time but cartilage grafting works very well in lengthening the nasal tip. Its safe to do in the right hands.
