Rhinoplasty with SupraAlar Reduction

If you want a supratip break, this can be accomplished through rhinoplasty. If you have too great of a break or a depression, this can be improved with a rhinoplasty as well. Pinched tips result from a variety of aggressive cartilage resection techniques that weaken the natural support structure of the tip. This does not have to occur, and I have not had this happen.

Your 'supraalar' area can be improved by a rhinoplasty.

Your 'supraalar' area can be improved by a rhinoplasty. The key is to plan the changes you want. I like to show patients several possible changes on the computer in advance of the surgery so we can both decide how the nose should look after the surgery.

"Supra Alar" Nasal Reduction

I'm not sure what you mean when you use the term "supra alar" but I assume that you're referring to the tip. The best way to avoid a pinched tip is to select an experienced rhinoplasty specialist. Look at the surgeon's results or actual patients to see what they do with a nose like yours.
