How To Address Hanging Ala and Create Harmony With Columella? (photo)

February 26, 2012
Asked By:theSundanceKid in New York, NY

I have overhanging ala on both sides of my nose, although it's much more prominent on one side (see pics). Part of the reason why one profile looks different than the other is that my nasal bones and septum are actually canted. But that's another issue altogether. What I'm looking for information on right now is how the hanging ala would be addressed. I want to create that nice relationship between the alar margin and columella. Thanks.
