Can a Slimmer Nasal Tip Be Achieved with Just the Cephalic Trimming? (photo)

December 10, 2012
Asked By:TKM0730

I am scheduled for an alarplasty because the tip of my nose is bulbous, wide, and thick. I want to avoid getting a rhinoplasty, and am comfortable with the bridge of my nose. Im concerned that after receiving the alarplasty, the tip of my nose will remain thick at the end and form a more obvious round tip. Will cephalic trimming be something that i could consider? or Botox rhinoplasty? Is there any way of avoiding the round tip with the alarplasty? I want a narrow nose without pinched look
