The pictures are not of me but I am in the same situation. I had a droopy nose. Prior to surgery I asked my surgeon not to lift my tip because I also have a long philtrum ( space between nose and top of lip). The droopy tip camouflaged the length.

Seems like most of you are just looking at the nose.
