Many materials are available for an augmentation such as this, including
artificial materials and even the patient's own cartilage. On this patient
I used a material that is soft and almost cloth-like, because soft materials
don't show a sharp edge under the skin like grafted cartilage can, and the
softer materials can sometimes be
shaped more precisely.

Questioner:
Is rhinoplasty like this possible or doable?
I used a projection app to tweak how my side profile looked and I was wondering if in theory a rhinoplasty like the one in the picture could be performed? I've looked through rhinoplasty before and afters and I haven't found one quite like this.
(Questioner submitted photos)
Dr. Denenberg's answer: Deprojecting a tip is rather predictable, in the right hands.
Yes, deprojecting a tip is very possible. Before selecting a plastic surgeon, you need to see photos of other patients of his who have had successful tip deprojections. It's an advanced technique that not every plastic surgeon can accomplish. See the Web reference link for an example.
