Your nose has strong "projection," which means it comes out forward away from your face strongly. The bridge comes down to match the tip of your nose. If the tip is moved back closer to your face, and the bridge is left where it is, well, it just wouldn't look like a nose, with the bridge sticking out well beyond the tip. There is another consideration, too, though: when a nose is brought back closer to the face, it makes the nose *look* longer, as if the tip had drooped down. So, even though you're not complaining of a droopy-tip nose, it's crucial that the surgeon recognize this effect, so you don't wonder why your nose looks so long after surgery. The woman in the links with my response had a projecting nose brought back closer to her face. Then also, really, from the surgeon's standpoint, reducing the projection of the tip, all by itself, is a complicated task, and making the rest of the nose fit the newly-deprojected tip is not an additional huge undertaking. How *much* to elevate the tip, or deproject the nose, or make other changes? We figure that out with morphs, well before surgery. I'd love for you to see some excellent professionally-designed morphs of what could possibly be done with your nose. Morphs could also help you identify better just what's bothering you, and help you set a goal for the rhinoplasty that's accurate for your tastes. Profile and three-quarter views would be particularly important in morphing your nose. (Side note: in my opinion, morphs should really be done by the surgeon, or he should direct an assistant as she makes the morphs. Morphs should be made with a constant eye to what actually *can* be done in surgery, for that particular nose, and the surgeon has that information and judgment best.) I'd love for you to see some excellent morphs of what could possibly be done with your nose. It might make you feel better about the possibilities. Morphs help you plan your ideal goal, and help the surgeon understand what you need in order to be happy, and correlate that with what he thinks is possible in his hands. Remember that rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. The changes that your nose needs require advanced techniques, and skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. For most noses, it's much better to not have surgery than to have inexpertly-performed surgery. Read my essay on how to stay out of trouble while selecting a rhinoplasty surgeon. And it also discusses how to take photos that are best for online evaluations.
