Will an alar reduction help make my nose appear smaller and natural? (photos)

It's hard to fully assess things just looking at your cropped nasal photos, but in general alar base reduction can be used to create a natural looking, narrower nose.To learn more about nostril reduction techniques and to see some before and after photos you can check out my web reference link below.

An alar base reduction can yield a natural result that greatly improves the appearance of the nose when the procedure is performed properly by a skilled rhinoplasty specialist. More photos and/or an in-person exam would be necessary to advise you. I would recommend a consult with a board certified and experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. He or she will evaluate your nose in person and provide you with advice. Computer imaging software may be used to morph a photo of you, which will give you an idea of how the final result of surgery may appear. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Alar base reduction will certainly help your nose appear smaller.  Natural results should be the goal.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds
of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the
plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a
sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Alar reduction can be performed in conjunction with a formal Rhinoplasty or on its own as an isolated procedure. The width of the nostrils is a relative thing so you would need to have the rest of your nose and in fact the rest of your face examined to determine if the nostrils truly are too wide. Good luck!

I need to see photos to give you a proper answer. When u narrow the nostrils other parts of your nose may look too large and need to be reduced as well.
