1.Just wanted to ask if it’s possible to achieve the following without potentially ruining facial harmony : 1. Tip reduction 2. Alar base reduction 3. Perfect/near perfect nasal symmetry 4. Slightly shorter nose 2. If the answer is yes to the previous question how can that be confirmed? Can surgeons give an image of a client with the following changes? 3. Worried abt harmony here as nose jobs reducing humps usually don’t affect it negatively while reducing width more likely

Answer: Almost All Yes I would say that the answer to almost all of your questions is yes. The base width can be narrowed, dorsal hump taken down, the tip can be refined and the overall nose projection can be shortened. I would caution you on your expectations. The goal of course for both patient and surgeon is the "perfect" result, however the shape of the nose is due to specific anatomic features. While some of these features can be corrected completely or near completely, others will see a more modest result. In particular, reducing projection may give you a more modest result than you may want. There are some surgeons that will use a modelling application to give you an approximation of the end result, but please remember that this is just a computer model and is not a guarantee of a final result. Either way, I would make sure that you are utilizing a board certified plastic or facial plastic surgeon to get the absolute best results.
