Can I deproject my nose without increasing my philtrum? (Photos)

HonorThyPusse
I'm interested in a rhinoplasty but I fear that if I deproject the tip of my nose it will increase the length of my philtrum (I've seen this in many before and afters with patients that have similar features as mine). In my photos you can see that my philtrum is already quite elongated, I believe if It were to increase even slightly that it will make a huge impact. What is suggested? Will a chin aug make it so I don't have to deproject? I'm not interested in lip fillers for shortening philtrum.
