Is It Possible To Vertically Shorten The Nose? (photo)

NeedHelpChicken
Hi, is it possible to shorten the nasal height between the eyes and base of the nose? I enclosed two pictures with different movements; picture A shows the base being lifted first via alar repositioning, then moving the columella and internal structures upwards. Of course, this would requre the tip to be rotated and possible grafts etc... Picture B shows the nose being angled outwards, causing it to protrude farther from the face but reduce the vertical height of which it takes up. Thanks.
