I'm overall a pretty confident person. There is just one thing that truly bothers me. MY NOSE! I think it's too big for my face. I know that I do want a Alar base reduction. Also, when I smile, my nostrils pull up with my smile. It causes my nose to look like it's drooping. I'm not sure, but I think a nose lift would help that. but what else would you guys recommend to make my nose more suiting to my face?

Answer: You can certainly get the result you desire in one session. Absolutely! With rhinoplasty many techniques can be used to improve the appearance of the nose in the same session. While alar base reduction is done to make the base of the nose look narrower, it is typically used in African-American or Hispanic noses which tend to have a wider alar base. In addition, these types of noses often need extra support in the nasal tip to give them more projection. Lastly, many noses have a strong nasal profile with a nasal hump. All three of these techniques can be safely done in the same rhinoplasty procedure. Discussion of these techniques and possible rhinoplasty begins by consulting a qualified facial plastic or plastic surgeon.
