The biggest issue I have w my nose is that it's too wide.The width extends beyond the distance btw eyes (almost the same width as my lips!). I've read that combined excision can change both size of nostrils and curvature of the nose. I would like to know if this combined alarplasty will be able to successfully 'tuck in'/streamline my nose into the space btw my eyes? Also, what effect will alarplasty have on the tip? (I tried pinching the base of nose together n actually liked the result)
