I have a short button nose and I feel like there's a pretty big space between the bottom of my nose and the top of my lips. Is it possible to make the nose longer and slimmer?

Answer: Is it possible to make a nose longer
Thank you for your question. Yes, it is possible to make a short nose look longer if this is in fact what is required. Without having photos it is difficult to give you specific details as how to achieve this. In most cases, it involves a sophisticated operation that involves the use of cartilage or bone to help push the nose downward. I would suggest that you seek consultation with several experienced nasal surgeons to see what could be accomplished.

Answer: Cartilage grafts may be used to make the nose look longer and thinner Thank you for your question. A formal examination is required to make specific recommendations for you.That said, typically refinement of a "button nose" requires a strut graft and a tip graft to refine and lengthen the nasal tip.Occasionally resection of the anterior nasal spine may allow the distance between the bottom of your nose and the upper portion of your lip to decrease.Please consult an expert plastic surgeon.
