Deprojection rhinoplasty
A nose can be deprojected by several mm, but any number of techniques. The dorsum can be reduced as well. In addition, the tip width will have to be considered as well as the alar base and nostril shape and size when deprojecting a nose.
A lot of parameters will change with this and will have to be accounted for in the final nose shape and balance. (Kenneth B. Hughes, MD, Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon)
Deprojection of a nasal tip is a feasible rhinoplasty maneuver. This will most likely entail an “open” rhinoplasty.
The soft tissues will be elevated, allowing direct access to the cartilages that comprise the nasal tip. (Anand G. Shah, MD, San Antonio Facial Plastic Surgeon)
The projection can be decreased, but the dorsum would need to be decreased and possibly the length decreased, in conjunction with the projection to keep it in proportion with the rest of the nose.
This can be done through either an open or closed rhinoplasty. (Amy T. Bandy, DO, FACS, Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon)
Your nose can definitely be deprojected and improved You should see a rhinoplasty specialist who performs a significant amount of rhinoplasty
At your consultation, a realistic goal can be discussed and all of your concerns can be addressed (Nima Shemirani, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Rhinoplasty to deproject the tip, refine the tip and remove the hump can be done. Choose a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does natural noses to avoid an over done nose. (Toby Mayer, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Making the Nose “Shorter” (Deprojecting)
Deprojection rhinoplasty before and after
In short, yes, it is possible to significantly deproject a nose (make it “shorter” in the distance it projects away from the face). Doing this requires some complex maneuvers, especially if you want the nose to have the same overall shape and rotation (angle it makes with the lip). Generally, this type of rhinoplasty is performed with an open technique. (Evan Ransom, MD, Bay Area Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Decreasing tip projection in rhinoplasty surgery
Yes it is possible to decrease tip projection. If you think of the tip of the nose as a tripod you have to decrease each arm of the tripod to readjust projection. Many times this is made more solid by the use of a cartilage graft harvested from the septum. (Jeffrey Zwiren, MD, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)
Deprojection nose job
Deprojecting the nose and chin implant
The answer is yes but you will also benefit from a chin implant which reduces the appearance of overprojected nose. (Mohsen Tavoussi, MD, DO, Huntington Beach Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Deprojecting the nose
It is possible to deproject the nasal tip through a series of manuevers. Goals of the srugery specifically and an exam are important to review in person. (Steven Wallach, MD, Manhattan Plastic Surgeon)
Is It Possible to Significantly Deproject a Nose?
Deprojection rhinoplasty surgery
Yes it is possible to deproject the nose to improve appearance. It is possible through an Open Rhinoplasty technique. Simultaneously the Dorsum can be reduced to improve the profile of the nose. (Naveen Somia, MBBS, PhD, FRACS, Sydney Plastic Surgeon)
Can my nose be deprojected?
Yes. This is a common request from rhinoplasty patients. Your tip can be set back and profile realigned to match.
It is often common to need to address nostril width when you do this as the nostrils can flare and look wide or round when the tip is set back. Good luck. (Michael L. Schwartz, MD, West Palm Beach Facial Plastic Surgeon)
