Is my nose too short in length? Can it be made thinner from tip? (Photo)

Asked By:carlos198897 in Palo Alto, CA

I had a rhinoplasty almost three years ago and I’m still a bit unsure about the results. I feel that the tip is still smaller than before but it still looks bulbous with not much definition. From profile view, I feel that the length of the tip is too short. Is there a way to fix these two problems in order to gain a nose that looks longer from side view and thinner/more defined from front view?

Answer: Rhinoplasty is very personal. I find computer imaging helps show if your nose really will look better if lengthened
