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

The key is not the vinegar here but the concentration needed for the effect. This concentration cannot be used as it would kill the soft tissue envelope. Kenneth Hughes, MD rhinoplasty Los Angeles, CA
Looking at your photos, you are a good candidate for non-surgical rhinoplasty using fillers.
I would recommend restylane as it is soft but gives very predictable lifting. It is also immediately reversible if needed.
