Should I Get Alarplasty Along with Rhinoplasty? What Type of Result Should I Expect? (photo) Hello doctors, I am certain about getting rhinoplasty because I have always had a rather bulbuous tip and wide nose (extended alars). I have a bump and slight largeness to the left side of the nose as well. My main concern is the bulbuousness and the drooping of the tip which ideally, would be the main goal I want out of the rhinoplasty. I would ideally like to have a slimmer nose & more refined/upheld shape to the tip. Can alarplasty achieve that w/o scarring? What should I expect? Thanks!

A: Nostril or Alar Work is Common Ethnic Rhinoplasty

You are a fantastic candidate for an ethnic rhinoplasty. The nasal bridge should be carefully reduced and incrementally.
The tip is droopy which requires depressor muscle removal (fairly routine in ethnic noses); tip skin debulking, nostril alar and sill narrowing (conservative and natural); tip raising (without excess nostril show). Please contact us with more questions at ghavamiplasticsurgery.com.

Will my Surgeon Be More Likely to Do a Better Job on my Rhinoplasty if I'm His First Surgery of the Day or the Last? I know it seems like a silly question but its really not. Take for example my hair stylist. I've found she does a much better job if I'm her very first client of the day. Verses being the last when she;s worked all day and tired. I know a stylist goes through a lot more clients in a day then a surgeon, so their not comparable. But i'm still wondering if it makes a difference? I've researched my surgeon and am confident in him but i'm still looking for the best possible results, as is anyone!!

A: First or Last Surgery of the Day

Every surgeon is different and has different preferences as to the time of day to perform surgery. My energy level allows me to do surgery all day. I thrive in the operating room. My focus, attention to detail and my mental stamina are magnified in the operating room atmosphere.

How to Tell if my Nose is Broken? I was in wrestling a few days ago, and I was slammed on my nose and now it is swollen and hard to breath out of. It's very sensitive, and whenever I move it, it makes a clicking noise. I'm just wondering if it is broken, and worth going to the doctor for.

A: Broken Nose

It sounds like you are describing a broken nose. Contact a facial plastic surgeon to assess your situation. You may elect to wait approximately one week to allow alot of the swelling to subside. Your surgeon will examine and evalutate you and come up with a possible surgical plan.

	“Rhinoplasty in Newport Beach, CA” I have always disliked my nose. I was often made fun of because of its size and it unfortunately has affected how I view myself. I have a wide nose with a hump and no real definition. I think it's just a blob that takes up way too much of my face. I scheduled my consultation with Dr. Elam on the 4th of February. The consultation went wonderfully. I was shown what my nose should look... more
	“Best Decision Ever, and Best Doctor...” I can not say enough about Dr. Rollin Daniel, and the job he did on my nose. I had a hook nose, which looked ok from the front, but NOT good from the side. This is something I have wanted to do forever, but of course making such a major change to your face is nerve wrecking. However, I could not be more happy with my decision to go forward with the procedure, and mostly my choice of doctor... more
	“Still Me, Only Better - Newport...” I wanted a thinner bridge & a more refined tip. Also, I had breathing problems due to enlarged turbinates. I've never had a really big issue with my nose; I have always liked my profile & 3/4 view, but have always wanted it to be a little thinner head-on with more of a defined tip. I've also had breathing problems resulting from enlarged turbinates. So my most important... more
	“Glad I Had Rhinoplasty - CA” My nose has always been crooked with one nostril smaller than the other. I had never liked my profile due to the hump on my nose and the long look of my nose. Rhinoplasty wasn't something I 'had' to do but one of those things in life that I have always wondered 'what if.' I'm so glad I took the leap to do this for myself. I had surgery on 12/14/11. My doctor is an... more
	“Perfect nose - Newport Beach, CA” Improve breathing and overall appearance. I recently had rhino/septoplasty done by Dr. Elam and am so glad that I chose him to do the procedure. My nose looks outstanding and it fits my face perfectly. The surgery went by seamlessly and I have healed very quickly. The process and outcome both greatly exceeded my original hopes.About two months ago I had rhinoplasty done by Dr. Elam and I... more
	“Looks 100% Natural - Newport Beach, CA” I broke my nose when I was in high school, I am now in my early thirties. My nose was deviated to the right side, I had a slight bulge between the eye and my nose from the bone healing on the left side, and my right nostril would collapse under hard breathing. I also had a bulbous tip that I wanted to fix. I had a Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty done. Dr. Sajjadian said my nose did not want to... more
	“Nervous and Excited - Orange County, CA” My surgery is scheduled for November 16th, 2011 - exactly six weeks from today. I'm very nervous, but have recently told my family about my decision and they have been overwhelmingly supportive! My nose is just big. It's got a bulbous tip and it just doesn't fit my face. I'm 28 years old and I feel like my face should be a lot softer.. a lot prettier. My nose throws... more
	“Couldn't Have Asked for Better! -...” I have always been insecure about my nose but was too scared to actually go through with rhinoplasty. After how pleased I was with my entire experience from my breast aug at dr elam's, I decided to go through with it. I am now on day 3 post op & feel amazing! I have virtually no pain or bruising and very minimal amount of swelling. I can't wait until I get my cast off this... more
	“Top Notch Nose Scultpting - Newport...” I chose to have a rhinoplasty procedure done because I was always uncomfortable with the slight bump in the bridge of my nose as well as the bulbous, square tip of my nose. I wanted a subtle change in my overall nose structure. I got exactly what I wanted - a refined nose without the blatant tell tale signs of a nose job. The pain and discomfort were so minimal that even the day of surgery... more
	“Rhinoplasty is a Crap Shoot - Orange...” I got a nose job on my giant Jew nose back in 2002. It was an improvement anything would have been I mean it looked like a clown nose. However, it is far from perfect. It collapsed on one side and became crooked as time went on. I recently had a revision by the same doc which was in his words a simple alar graft. I had high hopes but it hasn't turned out so well. The scar tissue has... more
	“Love My New Nose - Newport Beach, CA” My nose was a bit long and wide. I only wanted it shaped without looking done. Dr. E did exactly that, and went beyond any of my expectations. I also knew with his Staff, Surgical Team, and Aftercare Nurse I was in the best hands. more

I am so happy with the results, i get many compliments on it. I put my full confidence in this doctor and would recommend him to anyone wanting any type of cosmetic surgery, especially rhinoplasty. The procedure not only corrected the physical aspect of my nose but also helped my... more
	“Purely Disregarding the Patient's...” Appearance after the surgery was pretty good, great I should say. However, I had trouble breathing and Dr. did not care to offer a solution or fix the problem after the surgery. I told him before the surgery that I don't care if there will be a little bump, as my goal was tip re-shaping/reduction. Although asked not to be done, the bones were filed/shaved, broken and realigned closer... more
	“Swelling on Tip After Nose Surgery -...” I did it because i hated my profile. and i had my dads manly nose on my face i never liked it. I am happy with the way things turned out. its just a lot of patience because its still very swollen on the tip. i had a hump on my nose and i hated my profile. so i decided to go through with rhinoplasty. i am happy that i got it. just the tip being swollen is more
	“Nose Still Bulbous and Large Four...” Exactly four months ago, I underwent a closed rhinoplasty to reduce a bump on the bridge of my nose. When the cast originally came off the week after surgery, the bridge of my nose looked very thin and delicate, exactly how I wanted, however the tip was very swollen and bulbous. My surgeon explained that it takes at least 12 months after surgery for the tip to heal, however I have not seen any... more
	“Rhinoplasty Was Worth It (Higher Bridge)” My rhinoplasty came out like what I had expected. I asked for a higher bridge and everything came out great. The pain was mild, but overall it wasn't that bad. more

	“Had Rhinoplasty a Year Ago....” I fell off a bunkbed when I was 7 years old and landed on my nose...and had a pretty noticeable bump. Later, I got hit in the nose in the same place and the bump just kept getting more pronounced. I don't think anyone would comment or say I had a "bad" nose before surgery, but it definitely did not help my profile. I started getting really fixated on this darn bump about two years ago... more
