I have been advised that not a lot of improvement can be made due to thin skin and cartilage on the tip. The hump can be removed but the tip would stay the same and nostrils would be the same so I think that would make it look more projected (if that's possible). Any advice would be great. Thank you.

Answer: Can my nose be shortened so its not as projected? The areas that concern you can be realistically improved with an artistically performed rhinoplasty.Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do based on two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best surgery. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon certified by the American Board of American Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. If you live outside of the United States, the surgeon should ideally be a member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, M.D., FACSLa Jolla, California
