Can a rhinoplasty improve my ability to smile if the anterior nasal spine is reshaped and bone removed? (Photo)

A long nose with a long nasal septum or nasal spine can affect  your smile as that may distract downward by either the pull of the depressor septal nasi muscle on the anterior or front septum. In addition, the nasal spine can also overly project in that area making the nose to appear downward and affect the smile. I would recommend you see a board certified facial plastic surgeon in your area as they have the most expertise in both the internal and external anatomy of your nose.

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well;..based in your question its difficulted evaluate your case with this angle of a picture, its recommended to get a consultation in personal with a plastic surgeon.

Underlying anatomy of nose and lip does affect the way we smile. This is the case with prominent nasal spine, caudal portion of septum, presence or absence of nasal depressor muscle(s) within columella, etc. Only after detailed in person evaluation surgeon can tell you how much of this can be improved after elective rhinoplasty. Good luck.
