Could my Shortened Nose Be Made Longer Again? (photo)

If a nose is too short (underprojected), it can be lengthened using tip sutures, possibly a caudal strut (a cartilage graft used to support the lower lateral cartilages at the base of the nose), and possibly with a tip graft (a cartilage graft placed on the lower cartilages to define and project the tip). Cartilage can be obtained from the nasal septum, ear, and less commonly the rib.

Projecting the nose is common in both primary rhinoplasty (first time surgeries) and revisions (repeat surgeries).

Make sure you give enough time for surgery to heal and for swelling to decrease (usually a year or more) before contemplating revision surgery. Discuss these issues with your surgeon.

Lastly, non-surgical rhinoplasty (filler injection) may be an option, although not permanent. Good luck.

There are certain procedures that can be performed to lengthen the shortened nose.  An exam in person would be best to determine how this can be accomplished for you.  Good luck.
