Solutions for extremely close set eyes and a very long nose

Question

Since I have been a young girl I have been bullied for having extremely close set eyes and a very long nose. When i say long I do not mean in a way which can be fixed with a rhinoplasty, but anteriorly long. It would not bother me so much as I am not a vain person if not for the fact that I cannot go a week without somebody saying something mean to me about it and I have even had people whispering wondering whats wrong with me. Are there any solutions to this problem?

Rhinoplasty can shorten a long nose and make it more in balance with your face. It can make the eyes appear wider if you have a bump on your nose which can be removed. This may help give you confidence, but you might discuss this with a psychologist as well, before proceeding. You can always do surgery later.

Sorry but there is no way to answer your question without a photo and possibly a face to face examination.

There is nothing that can be done for narrow set eyes. A rhinoplasty can be done to decrease the projection of the nose and the length of the nose can be shortened through the rhinoplasty procedure. Look for a surgeon who has performed thousands of rhinoplasty procedures who is to understand all of the nuances with your nose.
