Can Rhinoplasty Make my Long Nose Shorter? (photo)

I certainly think your nose could be made shorter.  I agree that computer imaging is an important tool that would help demonstrate changes that could be made with rhinoplasty.  My bias is that it should always be performed by the surgeon, not the office staff so that the doctor is showing you what is actually achievable with surgery based on your particular anatomy, skin thickness, etc.
 

Dear XTeeheeX,

It is difficult to give precise advice because of the small size of the picture. Certainly, your nose can be made smaller, but what jumps out at me is not so much that you have a large nose but that you have a recessive chin. Because of that disproportion of a weak and recessive chin, the rest of the facial features look enlarged, but that is not the main issue.

Computer imaging would be very helpful to you to see the change that a chin implant would make, and then you are going to find that your nose is actually not far out of proportion to the rest of your face by any means.

Best of luck to you.
