My nose isn't hooked, but the tip is underprojected, droopy and not sharp. Is there a way to make my profile sharper and less droopy without risking my philtrum looking longer? What techniques would a doctor use to achieve this?

Answer: Philtrum after a rhinoplasty When someone has a droopy tip and wants it to be less droopy and tip projected which is done by lifting and supporting a tip, philtrum always looks higher. If a tip is lifted for example 3 mm up then a philtrum will look 3 mm longer.

Answer: Rhinoplasty It is very difficult to address this question in general manner. Good rhinoplasty, performed by an expert, board certified plastic or ENT surgeon, should improve overall appearance of the nose. Some steps may be needed to avoid long looking philtrum (nose); they usually involve shortening of distal septum. Tip shape and position could be achieved with combination of tip cartilage shaping with sutures and cartilage graft(s) taken from septum. In person consultation is necessary for more detailed answer/recommendation. Good luck.
