Is It Possible to Get Your Nose Lowered on Your Face?

October 3, 2013
Asked By:arctia

My nose is slightly too high on my face. It has a huge bump, and the bones are too wide-set. I'm planning on getting a rhinoplasty in a couple of years. I feel like when I get my nose thinner, it will look even more apparent (the space between my nose and lips). It it possible to slightly move the nose lower, or maybe move the nostrils lower? I forgot to mention, I have a long septum, so would it be possible to lower the nostrils to where the septum is? Thank you,
