Alarplasty? Weir Incision? Or Base Reduction? (photo)

February 20, 2013
Asked By:Blue_Tulips in Australia

Hello, my nostrils are like a little pig snout. Would you reccommend a weir incision or a base reduction? How prominent are the scars? I 'm half asian/portuguese, my skin is poreless, thick and olive. Will the scar be dramatic? Any other reccommendations?I don't want a tall westernised pointy nose- as I do want keep in harmony with everything. The bridge is suitable for my features- I just think my snout looks goofy and childish. Thank you in advance for any advice. :)
