Rhinoplasty shorten nose
A rhinoplasty can safely shorten your nose. You should have computer imaging done. You nose looks longer than it is because your chin is a wee bit small. A chin implant combined with a rhinoplasty would give a nice result. Make sure you seek out a board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon. (David Alessi, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Shortening the nose with Rhinoplasty
It is possible to shorten the nose. Are you looking to decrease the length from the top to bottom or decrease the amount the tip projects away from the face? Have a computer imaging session with a Rhinoplasty surgeon and explore those options to see what looks good. (Thomas Buonassisi, MD, Vancouver Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Nasal Shortening
A rhinoplasty can shorten your nasal length. You might consider a reduction in the dorsal height . The nasal dorsum should optimally exhibit less projection than the nasal tip. I think some computer graphics would be useful in your case. (Jay M. Pensler, MD, Chicago Plastic Surgeon)
Rhinoplasty for a shorter nose
Rhinoplasty can result in a shorter nose, but be careful: too much tip work can result in over-rotation. From the profile you submitted I might discuss with you the addition of a small chin implant to improve facial harmony. Be sure to consult a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can show you a comprehensive portfolio of pre- and post-op pictures so you can see the types of results that are reasonable to expect. (Daniel Greenwald, MD, Tampa Plastic Surgeon)
Shorten nose
A rhinoplasty can easily shorten your nose. From your photo you need to be careful since you already have an obtuse nasolabial angle and you do not want your tip turned up too much. (Donald Nunn, MD, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)
Rhinoplasty and Nasal Length
Shortening as well as lengthening the nose are feasible rhinoplasty maneuvers. Select a surgeon whom you feel comfortable with, one who can show you multiple before and after photos of patients with similar concerns. (Anand G. Shah, MD, San Antonio Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Many changes possible with rhinoplasty
I certainly think your nose could be made shorter. I agree that computer imaging is an important tool that would help demonstrate changes that could be made with rhinoplasty. My bias is that it should always be performed by the surgeon, not the office staff so that the doctor is showing you what is actually achievable with surgery based on your particular anatomy, skin thickness, etc. (Colin Pero, MD, Dallas Facial Plastic Surgeon)
