Is it possible to slightly shorten the nose tip without elevating my nostrils at all? (photos)

brunettepink
Im in the market for a lip lift. However I know that doing so will make my nose tip appear longer than it already is. I would like it to be shortened just a bit - without elevating it all or making me look like a pig or pinched. Must b subtle. How can I ensure that the surgeon does not elevate it at all? Is it possible to slightly shorten my nose tip in a very subtle procedure without elevating its angle at all?? Thank you in advance. Any information you could provide would be extremely helpful.
