Can my nose be shortened so its not as projected? (photos)

The thin skin and cartilage on the tip mean that you *can* get a lot of improvement. I made a computer morph of your image to show the changes that are possible in expert hands. See the Web reference link below to view the morph.Your nose is strong in its forward projection away from your face. The tip hangs low. There is a small bump. The tip cartilages are strong, making the tip look prominent and wide. All of these areas can be addressed in a rhinoplasty.You should know that especially the work on the tip requires very advanced techniques that most plastic surgeons cannot handle. You must be sure to see before and after photos showing good work narrowing and shaping the tip from any plastic surgeon you are considering.

Thanks for your question. Reducing
nasal projection is a common goal in rhinoplasty. Your nasal tip is very
prominent, but its shape indicates that the primary problem is very large
cartilage, and in fact your nasal skin appears to be of normal thickness. I
would consider you a wonderful candidate for a procedure that would reduce your
overall nasal size. On my website are several patients who have had their
projection reduced. It does require reduction in both "legs" of the
tip cartilages, and not every surgeon routinely does this. It is true that
there are limits to skin retraction, but I would consider you a wonderful
candidate for rhinoplasty, which should reliably give you a major improvement
in your large nose. I recommend seeking out a surgeon with experience doing
similar rhinoplasty procedures. Best of luck!

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, I suggest perform a Closed Rhinoplasty (without visible scars) to treat the tip, base and nasal bridge.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
