The tip of the nose tends to droop with time, like everything else, so we
interpret a long nose as belonging to an older face. A rhinoplasty,
therefore, can be performed as a facial rejuvenation procedure, to make the face
look younger.
She had a face lift at the same time as her nose surgery. The face lift
smoothed her jaw line, but shortening her nose added considerably to the
impression of youth in her face.
But issues of youth aside, she just thought her nose was too long for her
anyway!

Questioner:
Septo/rhinoplasty Consult?
Hello, I had a consult and CT scan showing I had a deviated septum. My surgeon had said if I cosmetically wanted to fix the tip of my nose, which has a deep cartilage split at the tip, giving the appearance of a "butt nose"...that it would be a couple of stitches when closing up. But I believe my nose turns up and the skin between the nostrils hangs, due to what I believe was terrible allergies and constant nose itching. What would be the best way to get a cuter shaped nose tip?
(Questioner submitted photos)
Dr. Denenberg's answer: Don't let that doctor operate on your nose!
Hi, BriC, "A couple of stitches when closing up" pegs your doctor as someone who knows nothing about rhinoplasty. You must not let him operate on your nose. Changing your "butt nose" requires complicated work on the tip of your nose, using advanced techniques that not all plastic surgeons understand.
