Alar base reduction and tip platy

An alar base reduction would narrow the nostrils significantly. A tip plasty would also narrowe the tip of the nose as well. It is difficult to say if that would be of enough to give a natural result without seeing a side profile of the nose

Rhinoplasty surgery

Dear pre123, The nose can definitely be made less wide You would need cartilage grafting as well to reinforce the smaller nose so you do not have breathing problems afterwards When you are ready, please visit a rhinoplasty surgeon who can address your concerns and answer all of your questions Best regards, Nima Shemirani

Tip plasty and Alar reduction

Hi, Its difficult to say without seeing a lateral photo of your nose. Occasionally, tip plasty and alar base reduction is all that is needed. Best, Dr.S.

Tip Work and Alar Base Reduction

Rhinoplasty is a procedure designed to reshape the nose and create better facial proportions. Just doing part of this may create new problems for you. Your tip can be improved as well as your alar base. You may also benefit from reduction of the width of the nose above the tip. The LDL cholesterol by itself would not be a contraindication. Find a plastic surgeon who has extensive experience in rhinoplasties for the best result. Good luck.

Nasal work

I think you need more than an alar base reduction and tip work, your middle third is fairly wide and should be narrowed as well.

Alar Base Reduction and Tip Plasty

You can limit the surgery to an alar base reduction and tip plasty but you are also wide immediately above the tip. The bridge looks good in the picture you provided. Proportion is an important consideration.

Soft tissue limitations of Rhinoplasty

Thick, heavy skin and heavy soft tissues of nose are relative contraindications to cosmetic rhinoplasty. You have all of above limitations. Rhinoplasty will not give you satisfactory outcome. Refrain from any operation.

Tip Work and Alarplasty

You tip can be improved as well as your alar base. You may want to consider the reduction of the width of the nose above the tip. The LDL cholesterol by itself would not be a contraindication.
