Rhinoplasty And Otoplasty Costs

so i been wanting rhinoplasty and otoplasty since i was 15 now 19 am saving to get them done but i have alot of issues on my nose and ears. Problems Nose Crooked Nose Big Nose Hump Long Nose dropped tip Tall Nostrils Ears Big Ears Lobes. They Stick Out i would like to know if i could combine the procedures together and whats the estimate price for both procedures done the same day THANKS

Both rhinoplasty can be easily done at the same time, and I would stay away from any surgeon that charges LESS than $7000 for both. Since both procedures can change the perceived width of the face, I would strongly suggest having your surgeon perform computer imaging to give you a preview of the effect that each by themselves, and both together, would have on the balance of your facial features.  Cost, especially of the rhinoplasty varies considerably from surgeon to surgeon, but in general, you get what you pay for -- but do confirm that by having each surgeon show you LOTS of before and after photos.

Am I a Good Candidate for Alar Base Reduction?

I have been contouring my tip with makeup so there is more definition and I feel like it makes my nostrils look a little wide.

The most I can recommend, given just this photo, is to note that If the facial proportions of this person's face are average, then an alar base reduction would not benefit this person's appearance.Since proportions and balance are so important in the aesthetics of the nose, a full face photo is always required when making judgments about it's ideal shape. However, there are some general rules and guidelines that apply to most faces.  In general, while looking at the triangular base of the nose (from under the nose), all three sides should be about the same length (should form an equilateral triangle).  In general, the width of the base of the nose should about equal the distance between the inner corners of both eyes (which, by the way, should ideally equal the width of each eye).  Also, in general, the more the base is narrowed the longer the nose looks and the narrower the face looks, and these trade-offs may not be aesthetically beneficial.
