Correcting an Excessively Dislocated Nose
An overly protruding nose is a common area of concern in rhinoplasty. In this article, we will examine such concerns, including how they arise, the impact, and the causes of treatment.
What is an Overly Protruding Nose?
This type of nose, often called the 'long' nose, is the type of nose where the tip points further than desired, the nose sticking out or appearing larger.
How Does an Overly Protruding Nose Look?
An overly protruding nose appears in many different ways. Some may have a well-shaped nose but too large for the patient's face. In some, only the tip may be too protruding and create a Pinocchio look.
What Are the Effects of an Over Projected Nose?
Having a nose that you are aesthetically dissatisfied with can affect your self-confidence and potentially have a knock-on effect in other areas of your life. Some nasal problems can also cause breathing difficulties.
How to Treat Excessively Protruding Nose?
Rhinoplasty for an overly prominent nose involves adjusting the tip back, closer to the face. The bridge may also need to be lowered to match. We aim to balance the nose profile with your other features while keeping the results as natural as possible. The limit of tip retraction depends on how much the skin shrinks. Less variation can be achieved for patients with thick skin.
