I have had a few consultations for a rhinoplasty so far, but one of the surgeons I spoke with told me that due to my anatomy, my nose can only be very slightly de-projected. I am looking to get more opinions on whether this is true, and if it is true, whether work on mainly the bridge & tip will improve the look of my nose enough to be a big improvement & to complement my features? I don't want a small nose anyways, but I do want it to be smaller overall than what it is.

Answer: How much can my nose be de-projected? Based on your photos, you appear to have a wide, long, and overprojected nasal appearance. I suspect well-performed rhinoplasty can be considered for achieving a smaller, less distracting, and more feminine nasal appearance. If you don't have a good feeling after a consultation, keep looking, and always follow your gut. Computer imaging would help you. Best of luck. Dr Joseph

Answer: Deprojection is important Your nose can and should be de-projected. Structural techniques include the use of a solid support graft that firmly attaches your nasal tip cartilages to the septum in a way that projection and rotation of the tip are predictable and stable. Skin can present a problem, especially when it is exceedingly thick; yours is not. You should be able to get a result that will make you very happy.
