This nose was injured in an automobile accident. Her nose was pushed
off to the right side of her face. When a nose is off center on the
face, the patient usually has a "good side" and a "bad
side." This right oblique view is the bad side of a nose that is
pushed to the right. The nose's leaning to the right looks like a
bulge from this angle.
As you are browsing this patient's views, compare this view with her "good
side," which is view 3.
After surgery, she has a much nicer straight dorsum with a tip that is
more distinct and narrow.

Questioner:
From a ridiculous extreme long/upward nose, to the other extreme ridiculous long/downward/wide nose
My 3d nose revision...devastated! (At same time: face, neck & lip lifts, fine!). See pre/post op photos plus 2 nose models I gave to surgeon as guidance. But nose is now much longer, wider, downward...Will it look like the nose models after swelling is gone? Doubt it. Wait a year to fix it? No! I’m desperate...Is there somewhere a competent surgeon who can do a shorter nose like my nose models? (I’m 87 but absolutely healthy). Thanks ever so much for your opinions!

Dr. Denenberg's answer: Your nose won't shorten as the swelling subsides
Hi,
Sorry, but it's just vanishingly unlikely that your nose will shorten as the swelling subsides, and certainly it won't shorten to the length of the models' photographs that you submitted.
The good news is that, with correct techniques, it is possible to shorten a nose substantially, even in a revision procedure. The bad news is that you can't jump in and have that operation right away. It may not be necessary to wait an entire year, but the nose needs at least many months to heal first.
