What is an Over-Projecting Nose and How Do You Fix It?

Does your nose seem too big for your face?

When people think their noses are too big there are three possible dimensions or measurements that can be excessive: The length (the distance from where the nose starts below the forehead to the nasal tip), the width (as viewed from the front), and the PROJECTION (the distance the nose sticks out into space). Some large noses are large in one dimension and some in all three. The nose that is not too long and not too wide but just sticks out too much is sometimes called the Pinocchio nose.  Obviously, the length and projection are most easily judged on the side profile whereas the width is best judged from the front.
