The frontal view shows the narrowing of the wide area where her hump was, and
the elevation of the tip of her nose after surgery. We can see a glimpse
of her nostrils in the after picture; they were hidden in the before picture by
her drooping tip.
One way to evaluate the shortening of the nose from the frontal view is to
pay attention to the two white dots on the tip of the nose. Those white
dots are reflections from the flashes. Compare the white dots' positions
in the two photos above.

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.
