Is it possible for me to have a tip rhinoplasty? (Photo)

When a nose comes out strongly forward away from the face, we call that a "projecting" nose, and we want to "de-project" it, by bringing it closer to the face. A "long" nose is a nose that is long if you measure from where the nose begins between the eyes, down along the bridge to the tip. So a long nose has a droopy tip. Having said that, when you deproject a nose, it tends to make the nose *look* longer, as if the tip had drooped more, so even on your nose, elevating the tip would be important.

You said you don't mind the bump, but if you imagine bringing the tip back closer to your face and leaving the bump, the bump would look much larger after surgery, so some lowering of the bump would also be important.


How *much* to elevate the tip, or deproject the nose, or make other changes? We figure that out with morphs, well before surgery. I'd love for you to see some excellent professionally-designed morphs of what could possibly be done with your nose. Morphs could also help you identify better just what's bothering you, and help you set a goal for the rhinoplasty that's accurate for your tastes. Profile and three-quarter views would be particularly important in morphing your nose. (Side note: in my opinion, morphs should really be done by the surgeon, or he should direct an assistant as she makes the morphs. Morphs should be made with a constant eye to what actually *can* be done in surgery, for that particular nose, and the surgeon has that information and judgment best.)

Finally, remember that rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. The changes that your nose needs require advanced techniques, and skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. It's much better to not have surgery than to have inexpertly-performed surgery. Read my essay on how to stay out of trouble while selecting a rhinoplasty surgeon. And it also discusses how to take photos that are best for online evaluations.

Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I can understand from your question the rhinoplasty operation I can recommend to you is both safer and it is more possible to achieve the desired result with rhinoplasty.It would be better face to face consultation.Best regards!

Hi from Istanbul! To address the length of your nose, deprojection (which involves shortening of the nasal tip cartilage) needs to be performed. However, this would make your nasal hump appear more prominent. Therefore, a nasal hump reduction should accompany this procedure. Additionally, narrowing of the nasal bones can further enhance the overall aesthetic, ensuring a balanced and natural appearance from the front view. Hope this helps, best of luck to you.
