is it possible/realistic to make a long and narrow nose shorter without making it wider with a rhinoplasty?

Asked By:aj90190

I like how narrow my nose is, but I hate how long it is and how far it protrudes. I know that rhinoplasty surgery mostly realigns the nose rather than making it smaller, so it seems that if you're making the nose shorter and less protruding, it would have to become wider. But I've seen many pictures in plastic surgeon's rhinoplasty galleries of narrow noses that seem smaller but still just as narrow afterwards. so I was wondering how realistic it would be to expect similar results? Thank you.
