Nose types
Over-projected nose
An over-projected nose is characterised by a nasal tip that sits further away from the face than it should for the person's features.
It is as if the nose were “pulled forward”.
Treatment usually requires open rhinoplasty, with surgical techniques specific to these cases. The main goal is to bring the nose “back”, that is, closer to the face.
Assessment measures tip projection relative to the lip and dorsum, and distinguishes whether the excess comes from the septum, the alar cartilages or both. That distinction guides how much and where to deproject.
Bringing the tip closer to the face must preserve support so it does not droop over time and so breathing is not compromised. The plan often combines structural remodelling with careful control of length and the nasolabial angle.
At follow-up, attention is paid to how the tip settles. The change in projection is usually noticeable early; contour refinement consolidates over the following months.
