Can the nose be shortened?

Asked By:thewayisnow in England, United Kingdom

I’m not asking if the tip can be heightened to make it appear smaller. Can the full density of the nose, including the nostrils, be heightened on the face? I know this could stress the skin around the philtrum, if it was possible, but other than raising the tip, my assumption is that it isn’t possible, due to the space the nasal interior has in the cranium, and soft tissue, or technical/surgical limitations.
