Could I make my nose longer with a rhinoplasty? (photos)

Question

I have a really short nose which is slightly upturned. How much difference could I realistically achieve with a short nose rhinoplasty?

Thanks for the question. Your nose looks also slightly deviated from the front.Rotating your tip down to lengthen it would likely need small grafts from your nasal septum and a slight change to the shape of your tip cartilages. If you have not had previous nasal surgery this goal is usually successful . I would recommend a face to face consultation for photography and a simulation initially. Hope this helps. Regards

It is possible to make a nose appear a little longer with rhinoplasty. It is definitely easier to make a nose shorter than it is to make it longer, but it can still be done. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.

Hello! Thank you for your question!As far as I can understand from your question , Your wishes can be realized with a single rhinoplasty surgery.It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best regards!

Hi , rhinoplasty can enhance the nasal profile including the length. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery process.

It is very difficult lengthen a short nose. In my opinion. In your case, it’s not worth attempting. It likely will not be very successful and I think your nose is fine the way it is
