Can you shorten the vertical length of the bridge of the nose (not radix or columella)?

Question

I think the vertical length of the bridge of my nose is too long (especially in frontal view.) I am not talking about the radix or columella, just the bridge - Is there any way to shorten it? If so, please explain how. Thank you!

A nose that is too long can be shortened by removing strategic portions of cartilage and internal nasal lining. It’s quite simple to do. Unfortunately I see many noses that were left too long so clearly not all surgeons know how

Can a long nose be shortened? Not only can a long nose be shortened, but it is one of the most common goals of routine rhinoplasty, and it is my favorite tool along with elevation of the nasal tip when it is plunging. These are perhaps the two most common goals in Rhinoplasty other common goals are reducing the width of a bulbous nasal tip and reducing the forward projection of the nose.

Dear. it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
Of course with rinoplasty, the length of the nose can be reduced.
