What Can Be Done to Reduce the Size of a Long Hook Nose? (photo)

davidvilla
I have what many call an aquiline/hook nose, it's very long with with a drooping tip and bump on the bridge. I am aware of nasal tip rotation and tip projection, but can i also have the anterior nasal spine removed/reduced to make my nose appear even shorter? would a plastic surgeon perform all these maneuvers? would my upper lip appear longer afterwards? i would of course love to remove the bump from my nose. any other tips on how to reduce vertical height would be great. thank you
