I strive to make a nose that doesn't draw attention to itself, but fits with
the rest of the face. Sometimes, a patient's ethnicity or personal tastes
will dictate that I do less during surgery, leaving the nose bigger than most
people would prefer, or doing more, making the nose smaller than the common
vote. Either way is fine, as long as we don't go too far, and as long as
we target the patient's rational wishes as closely as possible.

Dr. Denenberg's answer: Your nose requires some advanced techniques
Hi,
It seems to me that your nose would benefit from a significant "deprojection." That means bringing the entire nose back closer to your face. Look at the simulated modification that I made in the video link. Ignoring the hump for the moment, you can see that the tip of your nose moved significantly closer to your face. Then, the hump was also taken down.
You have a little bit of what we call "tethering" of the upper lip. That's when the upper lip pulls forward, right where it meets the bottom of the nose. If the tip of the nose is successfully deprojected, the tethering tends to lessen, or go away.
Making a predictable deprojection of the nose is not something that every plastic surgeon can accomplish, so be sure to see photos of the doctor's other patients who had impressive deprojections, before deciding on a surgeon.
