How to shorten a long nose and midface? (Photos)

February 15, 2020
Asked By:willamvon in New York, New York

Hello, I have a long face that I want to shorten. I believe the problem is in my middle third and I'd like to reduce the vertical length of my nose and midface. I researched procedures for correcting long faces and many doctors recommend widening the cheekbones and jaw, but given the distance between my eyes, I think my cheekbone width looks fine already. I believe the tip of my nose can be reduced somewhat but is there anything I can do to shorten the midface itself? Thank you.
