When de-projecting a tip as far as yours deserves, we need to pay attention to the *length* of the nose as well: when the tip comes back closer to the face, it tends to make the nose *look* longer, as if the tip had actually dropped at the same time, so we usually elevate the tip some at the same time (see my comment below about morphs). Also, from the frontal view, it appears that your tip is somewhat wide, and that makes sense. The tip of the nose is formed by two cartilages, and the size and position of those cartilages to a great extent controls the width of the tip, and the projection of the tip, and how low the tip sits. So your strong cartilages are making all three measurements larger than you'd like. The way you can squish your tip doesn't imply any unusual problems. There are clues from your photos that your skin isn't particularly thick. There really isn't any difference between a rhinoplasty and a "tip rhinoplasty." A "tip rhinoplasty" is just a rhinoplasty where most, or almost all, of the work is done on the tip. There may be other areas to address, though, to make sure your nose looks good after getting the tip changed. For example, it's possible that with a less-projecting, elevated, narrower tip, your bridge might look too wide, and some narrowing there might be in order so you don't notice a too-wide bridge after surgery. See? How *much* to deproject the tip, or elevate the tip, or make other changes? We figure that out with morphs, well before surgery. I'd love for you to see some excellent professionally-designed morphs of what could possibly be done with your nose. Morphs could also help you identify better just what's bothering you, and help you set a goal for the rhinoplasty that's accurate for your tastes. Profile and three-quarter views would be particularly important in morphing your nose. (Side note: in my opinion, morphs should really be done by the surgeon, or he should direct an assistant as she makes the morphs. Morphs should be made with a constant eye to what actually *can* be done in surgery, for that particular nose, and the surgeon has that information and judgment best.) Finally, remember that rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. The changes that your nose needs -- particularly the deprojection -- require advanced techniques, and skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. It's much better to not have surgery than to have inexpertly-performed surgery. Read my essay on how to stay out of trouble while selecting a rhinoplasty surgeon. And it also discusses how to take photos that are best for online evaluations.
