Is it possible to increase the length of my nose from the front? (photos)

Question

Is it possible to increase the length of my nose from the front? I’m insecure about the length of my philtrum, but in general I feel like my nose is too short for my face.

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Septal extension grafts and extended spreader grafts are typically utilized to lengthen somebody's nose, and to de-rotate their nasal tip. Since you appear to have thin nasal skin, this should be performed by somebody who is well versed in the usage of these cartilage grafts. The other possibility might be a lip lift to decrease the length of your philtrum. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hi a rhinoplasty can enhance nasal profile and give more definition. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery 
process.

Bora Ok, MD · Answer

Certainly, increasing the length of your nose from the front is achievable by deprojection of the nasal tip cartilages. Additionally, a lip lift can enhance the proportions, making the nose and philtrum appear more balanced and harmonious on your face. For a more detailed recommendation, an in-person consultation or more pictures would help. Best of luck to you!

It may be possible with grafting but I do not recommend this.  What I do recommend is a lip lift.  A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.

Best Wishes,
