How short should a nose be? The factors we consider are the patient's
age, sex, height, preferences, as well as some more subtle considerations,
including the nose's vertical height, the length of the upper lip, the thickness of the
skin, and other factors.
If you don't mind looking at photos that were taken during surgery, the
surgery tutorials on rhinoplasty contain a discussion
of how to decide the final length of the nose.

Questioner:
Do I need rhinoplasty/chin implant to get desired look?
I want to fix hump and biggest issue is how long it looks. Would rhinoplasty fix this? Does the tip look like it needs to be fixed?When i look straight ahead I feel like nose looks to wide esp when I smile. Would doing a chin implant at the same time as rhinoplasty help my face look more even and aligned? I think my chin looks weak, or would using something such as fillers in the lips make my profile look better and everything aligned? I included examples of what I want my nose to look like.
(Questioner submitted photos)
Dr. Denenberg's answer: Rhinoplasty can help, but I like your chin as it is now
You have that gentle hump on the bridge, and a tip that could be elevated to make your nose more like the example photos. In the right hands, these are realistic goals for a rhinoplasty. See the Web reference link for an example.
I wouldn't recommend a chin implant. You have a tall chin with good strength, and an implant would draw too much attention to the chin.
