You have strong tip cartilages, that are making the tip a little wide, and they are holding the tip of the nose down. See the "Web reference" link, just below my response. I made a computer morph of your nose, and an animation of the morph, to show the changes that are possible for your nose in truly expert hands. I elevated the tip of the nose. I also lowered the height of the bridge a little bit. You can see the changes best in the animation.Your nose is interesting in that it does indeed appear long, but the morph demonstrates that it doesn't have to be shortened by a huge amount to get it to a good position.There is little we do specifically for the nostrils, but whenever the tip of the nose is operated on, the nostrils tend to get shorter, because they don't extend as far toward the tip of the nose after surgery.You should understand that the changes I demonstrated in the morph require advanced techniques, techniques that most plastic surgeons cannot handle. Be sure to read the section in the "Web reference" link on how to stay out of trouble while searching for a rhinoplasty surgeon.Your nose is also a good example of why computer imaging is mandatory in rhinoplasty. You need to know exactly what the surgeon is planning to accomplish -- what features he'll change, and by how much he'll change them -- so you know whether it's enough to be meaningful to you, and whether he understands your wishes enough to address all of your priorities. Then, he must show you before and after photos to prove that he can actually accomplish what he draws on the computer.
