So I am wondering if an alarplasty will fix this since it seems like a muscle attachment issue because at rest my nose does not appear wide at the base, only when I smile. I am interested in a tip plasty ... I am not unhappy with my bridge I don't have a dorsal hump or wide bridge. However I do have a bulbous tip. My question is if I need both an alar plasty and a tip plasty? Or would doing a tip plasty fix the issue? Will any surgery fix the widening while smiling?

Answer: Nose widens with smile Cheeks elevate and lateralize with smile. Nostril margins (alae) attached to cheeks, so also elevate and lateralize with smile. As a result, some observe their nasal base widens and tip/columella complex descends upon broad smile, seen in photos.

Answer: How to fix the nose from widening when I smile A tip plasty accomplishes nearing a bulbous nasal tip. Osteotomies placed in the nasal bones accomplish narrowing the bridge line. An Alar-plasty accomplishes narrowing wide nostrils when they're out of balance with the rest of the nose. During the alar- plasty, releasing in the lateral ligaments underneath the nostril can help prevent the nose from widening dynamically when you smile. An Alar plasty can be performed as a standalone procedure under local anesthesia while rhinoplasty must be performed under general anesthesia for patient safety and comfort. Rhinoplasty is the most difficult procedure to perform correctly in the entire field of cosmetic surgery, so choose your rhinoplasty specialist wisely based on extensive experience producing natural results.
