Would an alarplasty or tip plasty be enough to make my Asian nose slimmer and more defined? (Photo)

March 13, 2015
Asked By:themoonsong in Redondo Beach, CA

I'm not so concerned about a high nose bridge. It's just that the tip of my nose is so large, it swallows up my face, especially when I smile. It's also pretty wide and flat; in some photos it's like I have no nose and the whole thing is flat until my nostrils. I'd like it to be a bit more defined and feminine. I'd like a minimally invasive procedure, so is alarplasty or tip plasty enough to improve my nose? What procedures can be done to make my nose fit better with my face?
