Am I a good candidate for an Alarplasty? (photos)

Yes, I think you are a very good candidate for an alarplasty to reduce your bilateral flaring. In your case, you do not need any of the nasal floor excised, but just the alar walls!

Hi there! Thanks for the great photos and questions. Alarplasty or base reduction is a great way to narrow the nose. It's important to maintain symmetry and not over-do it as a pinched result can occur. This procedure can be done in clinic very easily. As for the nasal slant and collapse, that's better addressed with a rhinoplasty. An open procedure allows for full visualization and grafting to obtain a straight result. I would seek consultation with a facial plastic surgeon to learn more. Hope this helps!

If you would want an alarplasty to reduce the flare of your nostrils, I think it would work well. However if you are having breathing problems that needs to be addressed as well. You don’t want to make your nostrils smaller if you are already having breathing issues.
