Hello, I have a decent amount of knowledge for a lay person regarding what options there are for Asian rhinoplasty. My mid+lower thirds are longer than my forehead. My nose appears to be short. I want to lengthen my nose/shorten my philtrum without removing the flesh in that area. However I want to avoid elongating my mid face even more.
