Possible to Change Height / Vertical Length of Nose?

Yes, the nose can be lengthened or shortened vertically with a rhinoplasty. This can be done by changing how upturned or downturned the nose is and also by changing the nasal starting point up in the area between the eyes (radix). There is no one set ideal length. Rather you would want a length that fits well with your overall facial proportions.

During a consultation you can discuss what it is specifically you are looking to achieve with surgery.

The length of the nose is determined by the angle where it comes off of the face, the location of this "takeoff" point (usually at the level of the upper eyelid crease), the angle between the nose and lip and the height of the tip itself. Refinement of nasal length has a dramatic affect on appearance, so it is critical you see a specialized, fellowship trained surgeon who is board certified. It is also important that you have a surgeon you trust and can communicate with. Take your time in this important decision. You will be rewarded if you do.

This can be done with a rhinoplasty. You should be very specific with what you want with your EXPERIENCED rhinoplasty surgeon.
