I understand that the most common method for decreasing the length of the nose is to raise the tip.On one rhinoplasty website however I have read of another method.When the anterior nasal spine is prominent and the upper lip is tethered,removal of the anterior nasal spine can shorten the nose by raising the position of the entire base of the nose,not just raising the tip.Would this be a good technique for improving a nose which is too long vertically? (length along the dorsum is ok).
