In this view you can see the excess width of both sides of the tip of her
nose. Changing the shape of the tip of the nose is one of the more
demanding parts of a rhinoplasty. You can't just carve a new tip, as out
of a block of clay. You must work with the thin leaves of these tip
cartilages, and cajole them into a more pleasing shape.

Questioner:
Can rhinoplasty fix my narrow and long nose?
How extensive of a procedure will it take to correct my nose? What options are there as far as shaping out there for me? What shape would compliment my facial structure?
(Questioner submitted photos)
Dr. Denenberg's answer: You are a somewhat typical candidate for a rhinoplasty
The operation wouldn't be more extensive than an "average" rhinoplasty, although I consider all rhinoplasties fairly "extensive."
I think most people, if they had your nose and were of a mind to change it, would consider lowering the bump on the bridge, narrowing the tip a small amount, elevating the tip up a small amount, and deprojecting the tip -- that is, bringing the entire nose back closer to your face.
