Can rhinoplasty fix my narrow and long nose? (Photo)

The
areas that concern you can be realistically improved with an artistically performed natural appearing rhinoplasty.

Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on
this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on two
dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling your tissue,
assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing
the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best surgery.
Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for
one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that
you find a surgeon certified by the American Board of American Plastic Surgery
and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic
Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss
your concerns with that surgeon in person.

There are a number of different things that can be done to change the shape of a nose with rhinoplasty and decreasing a long and narrow nose is a common request. Reducing the bridge, the tip, and a portion of the septum will often have the effects that you are looking for but every patient is different and unique and you will be able to get a lot more information from a live consultation. I usually recommend more than one consultation so that you can be comfortable that the surgeon you select understands your goals and is confident that you can be satisfied with the surgery.

The operation wouldn't be more extensive than an "average" rhinoplasty, although I consider all rhinoplasties fairly "extensive."I think most people, if they had your nose and were of a mind to change it, would consider lowering the bump on the bridge, narrowing the tip a small amount, elevating the tip up a small amount, and deprojecting the tip -- that is, bringing the entire nose back closer to your face.
