How to shorten a bottom heavy nose? (photos)

February 26, 2019
Asked By:Jake2121 in Dallas, TX

I have had a previous rhinoplasty a year ago to rotate tip (strut), remove hump, and trim the caudal septum. My nose is still very very bottom heavy and there is no space between the bottom of my caudal septum and upper lip. What are some ways to extend the space? I feel a trim will solve a 2 or 3mm issue. This seems like 5mm+ where a trim wouldn’t solve raising the base near the spine.
