Is It Possible to Significantly Deproject a Nose? (photo)

There are multiple ways to reduce projection during nasal surgery.  I recommend seeing a plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable and who specializes in nasal surgery.  

There are several techniques to achieve deprojection during rhinoplasty.  To achieve significant deprojection, 2 techniques in particular (lateral crural overlay/medial crural overlay) are very useful.  As others have mentioned, it's important to seek an experienced rhinoplasty specialist to achieve the best results possible.  

Yes, you absolutely can deproject the tip.  This is part of a rhinoplasty that we do often and regularly.  You look very pretty, but I agree that your nose seems overprotected (defined as the horizontal distance from your cheek to the tip of your nose).  Your dorsum would also need to be lowered at the same time and tip deprojected to make the entire nose smaller.  Otherwise, your tip rotation is perfect, columellar show is also nice.  We have 3D photo imaging in our office and I would highly recommend this prior to any planned operation.  This helps the surgeon's words to be translated into the actual achievable result on your face.  I have posted a link to one of my patient's before-and-after photos.  In this case, we significantly deprojected her (look at the base view or even measure the amount of deprojection on side view).  She did have much higher dorsum than you that was lowered.  However, this gives you an idea of the amount of deprojection that can be achieved.
