Is It Possible to Make the Nose Less Droopy Without Making It Longer?
Doctor I consulted with says my nose will get a bit longer after rhinoplasty... My nose is already big for my face and I don't want it to get longer! Can the droopy tip be less droopy without the nose getting longer?

Rhinoplasty Surgery is frequently performed to improve the appearance of a droopy nasal tip.
Feel free to re ask your query with frontal and profile photos for the Experts to comment on.
Many of my patients undergo successful Rhinoplasty surgery to improve the appearance of a droopy nasal tip, and to achieve nasal shortening. In general, if your nasal tip is less droopy, your nose will appear smaller.
Hope this helps you.

Less Droopy Tip Desired
If you are attempting to fix a droopy tip, the nose should become shorter in a sense. I have provided a link below to an online chapter about management of the droopy nasal tip. I hope this sheds some more light on the situation for you.

Is It Possible to Make the Nose Less Droopy Without Making It Longer?
No, that's just plain silly IMHO. Rhinoplasty doesn't make the nose longer which is the same as saying the nasal tip is under rotated...unless the Rhinoplasty Surgeon makes that happen with the techniques he/she uses during the Rhinoplasty. You may consider having additional consultations with experienced Rhinoplasty Surgeons. Hope this helps.

Rhinoplasty need not lengthen nose
There are many techniques used in rhinoplasty to reshape the nose and correct facial balance and proportion. Most of these result in shortening a nose that is too long or a droopy tip. Rarely would a rhinoplasty increase the length of the nose. I would suggest you get second opinion from an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon whom you feel comfortable discussing your concerns about the length of your nose. You should not have to accept a longer nose following a...

Droopy tip
Shortening a droopy tip will make the nose shorter, not longer. Releasing the depressor septi ligament will prevent the nose from drooping when smiling. Reducing the hump on a large nose will also de-project the nose and make it look less prominent . Computer imaging and an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon should get you the nose you desire

Droopy tip and rhinoplasty
Dear sourkid13,
Your overall aesthetic concerns are more important that which techniques we use to get to your goal
Computer imaging can show both scenarios of lifting the tip and shortening the nose versus lengthening the nose to bring it into proportion with the rest of your face
With the use of pictures, the surgeon can show you the 2 options and you can make your decision based on what you see

Longer Nose after Rhinoplasty
Having a rhinoplasty will not make a nose longer unless that is what the surgeon and patient want to achieve. I have intentionally lengthened short noses when necessary. If not desired this complication can be avoided by having the operation done by an experienced rhinoplasty specialist.

Make the Nose Less Droopy Without Making Nose Longer
The tip can be raised, while the nasal projection can be decreased by reducing the septal height. In addition, suture techniques can anchor the new position and fine tune it.

Rhinoplasty and longer nose
The nose should not be made longer if the tip is raised because it is a bit droopy. Best to be seen in person.
