Shortening the long nose is a fairly common thing in Rhinoplasty (rinoplasty, nose job, nose plastic surgery, nose cosmetic surgery, nose augmentation, nose enhancement). It involves shortening the cartilage that is holding the nose in a long position. Bringing in pictures helps the surgeon know what you are talking about. This can be a vital factor in getting what you want out of Rhinoplasty. One thing to realize is that you should be realistic about what can be achieved. A rhinoplasty will improve your look, but you may still look like you just better. To totally change your look, a lot usually needs to be done.
