Im very curious for your professional opinion as to why there is a limit to how much the nasal tip can be reduced/less projected when it is cartilage? Thank you
Answer: Nasal tip de-projection
The lower lateral cartilages of the tip are paired, 3 dimensional structures , shaped like 2 horseshoes. They are integral to the entire tip. De-projection of the tip can be accomplished thru a variety of techniques, including tip surgery, shaving down the dorsal septum, removing the nasal spine etc. It is very important to keep the nose in balance and breathing properly. Examples can be seen on our rhinoplasty photo gallery/overly projecting noses

Answer: Reduction of tip
You are limited somewhat by yoru anatomy in terms of a nasal reduction. The goal is to preserve function, not destroy the architecture.
