Alar base reduction by facial plastic surgeon or general plastic surgeon

A plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon can perform alarplasty. Look for a rhinoplasty surgeon who has performed thousands of rhinoplasties prior to undergoing this type of procedure. Facial plastic surgeons tend to perform more rhinoplasties than general plastic surgeons.

When considering rhinoplasty (or any facial surgery), seek an experienced surgeon that responds to your concerns

Many surgeons will provide you with an opportunity to modify pictures of your nose with photo-morphing software. While this is not a guarantee of results, it serves as a tool to help you and your surgeon communicate regarding an optimal result.
