Can you improve nose projection without an implant? (photos)

There are several techniques to increase nasal tip projection without implants. They include strut grafts, cap grafts, lateral crural steal techniques, etc. I DON'T usually consider alar base reduction among those as a reliable technique for changing projection, though.The bottom line, fortunately, is that there are many ways of improving tip projection WITHOUT implants or fillers.All the best,--DCPPearson Facial Plastic Surgery

 To increase nose projection during the rhinoplasty procedure, suture techniques are applied to the lower lateral cartilages of the nasal tip and a cartilage graft can also be added to the top of the tip of the dome to increase projection. Synthetic implants are not required.  A Cartilage graft can also be used along the bridge line to add height there is well. For many examples hand more information, please see the link and video below

There are ways to improve nasal projection without using nasal implants either with cartilage repositioning or with cartilage/tissue from your own body.  However, the amount of nasal projection may be limited if you opt only for cartilage repositioning as your photo suggests.  Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you with achieving the results you seek.  3-dimensional computer imaging can help you visualize what you may look like afterwards and serve as an important communication tool with your surgeon.
