Hello thanks for viewing,I have been wanting to do this for over a decade but I just dont know what the problem is . My mom tells me that it would be ugly to reduce the alar, that I should just opt for an implant to augment the bridge cause she says it will raise the sides of my alar, reducing the ridiculous flare (it looks like mickey mouse ears). I want the alar trimmed but I am scared if the results are bad, its irreversible. Whats the safest approach? I really hate the flare. Please help!:(
Hi Uluala1,
You can have a very concervative alar base reduction. You can't really reverse it so it's good to be conservative. . .if you wanted to do a bit more much much later you could. Keep in mind, when you smile your nasal ala will still flare a bit, even if you had an aggressive reduction.
You could start small wit just the alar reduction. As for the bridge, it's pretty nice. I would do minimal augmentation as most and you should probably "try it out" with a filler first.
What I see when you smile that adds to the flared look is that your tip (which is a nice tip) just minimally droops when you smile. If you were to refine that and reinforce it with a cartilage graft it would look great.
But you know, you're nice fits your face. Make sure you consult with a few facial plastic surgeons before doing anything.
A year and half ago I got mugged in Albany and I was left with a broken jaw and nose. My plastic surgeon treated the jaw first because it was of more importance. My nose was not realigned because I wouldn't have been able to breathe. As time has passed though I have found it very hard to breathe and extremely frustrating. I went to the ENT and was proscribed Flonase which doesn't really help. It's little crooked, I'm not sure whether to have just Septoplasty or Rhinoplasty with it.
It sounds like when you had your nose broken, the underlying structures were affected, making it difficult for you to breathe through your nose. You will need a thorough evaluation of the underlying anatomy of your nose to determine what needs to be done to improve your nasal breathing.
Can Ethnic Rhinoplasty Be Performed with Hairline Lowering? If So Would That Knock the Price Down a Bit.
Combining these procedures in one sitting would save at least $2000 in operating costs and anesthesia fees. Also if hair transplants might be desired to advance the temple hair to create a narrower forehead, these can be done in the same session .
