Hello, I wondered if the tip of the nose could be made to be less protruding? Thank you.
Answer: Lots of ways to deproject the nasal tip There are many reasons a tip can appear like it sticks out too far from the face (overprojection). So there are many ways this problems can be addressed depending on the specific cause. Some examples are:

Answer: De-projecting the tip in rhinoplasty The short answer is: yes. Deprojecting the nasal tip, as we call it, is commonly done. Several approaches are used depending on what other variables of the nose would also be affected. I'll employ vertical dome divisions, lateral crural overlays, medial crural overlays, reduction of the nasal spine with columellar setback, etc. as the situations call for. Every nose is unique.

Answer: Protruding noses can be made smaller There are a number of maneuvers that we employ in rhinoplasty to make the tip of the nose stick out less. This is called reducing nasal tip "projection." I employ an algorithm of procedures from simple to complex depending on how much the tip needs to be reduced as well as the shape and strength of the cartilages in the tip of your nose.

Answer: Correction of the overprojected tip can be done. This can be accomplished by setting the entire tip back or by trimming of the cartilages of the nose. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon and look at patients that he has done this on.

Answer: Rhinoplasty to reduce nose tip protrusion It is possible to make the nose tip less protruding by decreasing the projection of the septum of the nose just underneath the tip. It is also possible to sew the tip downwards to de-project it, as well as trimming back the lower lateral cartilages. The nose tip should be in balance with the rest of the nose, so most of the time a full rhinoplasty needs to be performed.
