A nose can be out of proportion with the remainder of the face. If you have a long face, a short nose in the middle can look awkward. There are methods to lengthen the nose and create better facial proportions. Usually this involves relocating the cartilage you already have in your nose to change the shape. Every case is different, and not all noses have the same cartilage inside to work with. Therefore a consultation to assess these issues is vital to planning a successfull rhinoplasty operation.
A rhinoplasty can narrow the nose and refine the nasal tip. However, to assess the length of the nose a photo showing your profile would be needed to make an accurate determination.
To lengthen your nose, cartilage grafts are used. There are a number of sources for these cartilage grafts. In order of preference, it's nasal septal cartilage, ear cartilage then rib cartilage.

It is always difficult to assess the final result so early in the healing process, but swelling is present.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
Your tip is likely swollen, only one month post-rhinoplasty, so the indentation on your left which is causing asymmetry, may improve with time. If it doesn't, you may benefit from a well-performed non-surgical rhinoplasty treatment. Our experience is with Silikon-1000, an off-label filler for...
Hi Ev,Crying and hitting your nose (see Manny Pacquiao answer) are not ideal during rhinoplasty recovery. Crying causes increased swelling. It is normal to feel a bit down during the immediate post-op period from any surgery. All should be well, good luck and be well.Dr. P
Hi and thanks for your question. I agree that there is a difference in your eyelids and you have some deviation of your nose. I also need for you to understand that symmetry in the human being does not exists. There will always be differences between the right and let, particularly in the face....
