I'm looking into getting a rhinoplasty & my main concern is how long my nose is. I don't have a bump and my tip is already naturally quite upturned. It's the bridge of my nose that is so long and It really is what bothers me. Is there anyway that the nose can be shortened vertically without rotating the tip? I have yet to see any before and afters that show patients who are similar to my nose and them successfully being able to reduce the length without touching the tip. Ty!!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello there! Yes, you can change the parameters you're referring to without affecting certain areas. The best way to convey goals is to have a surgeon take your photos and morph them. That allows you both to see the changes desired and talk about expectations. Sometimes, it's hard to find a similar nose with the changes you're requesting. Meet with multiple surgeons to see what may be possible. Hope this is useful to you.

Answer: Yes it's possible Thank you for the question, I'm assuming by shortening the nose vertically you're saying to shorten the length from the radix (between your eyebrows) and the tip itself. The tip is held down by the septum, so we can shorten the septal cartilage- as long as the anterior septal angle isn't reduced, it will not over-rotate the tip, since it sounds like your tip has good rotation already
