Rhinoplasty SPECIFIC COSMETIC REQUESTS - The Droopy Nose

VI. E. Overprojection and Underprojection of the Nasal Tip

The nose that extends too far from the face (think Cyrano de Bergerac or Pinocchio after lying) is called "overprojected" (Fig. 31). The nose that doesn't extend far enough from the face (think Pinocchio telling the truth) is underprojected. Correction of under-projection is a more common request of Asian and African-American patients.

VI.F. The Droopy Nose

Time and gravity affect all parts of our bodies, in­cluding the nose. The nose often droops as we get older. In these cases, lifting the droopy nose improves appearance and also makes the patient look younger (refer to Fig. 23).

VI.G. The Upturned Nose

The nose that is too upturned or "short" can be aes­thetically displeasing (Fig. 32).
