Is It Possible to Significantly Deproject a Nose? (photo)

Basically you want your nose set closer to your face. It is a pretty standard techniques which is involved and from your photos you appear to be a good candidate. The entire bridge of the nose needs to be shaved down especially out at the tip. Do not get a cartilage tip graft. It will make the tip stick out even more. The most important decision will be your selection of the right surgeon.

      A nose can be deprojected by several mm, but any number of techniques.  The dorsum can be reduced as well.  In addition, the tip width will have to be considered as well as the alar base and nostril shape and size when deprojecting a nose.   A lot of parameters will change with this and will have to be accounted for in the final nose shape and balance.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
