Will alarplasty give me a good results?

Question

Hello, i am not happy with the width of my nose. The nostril width and the width of the middle section. I am considering alarplasty. But i have some concerns: i wonder if the nostrils base and the midle parte must be alined ? Or is it possible to have the nostrils a bit higher, which i find more beautiful. Also can alarplasy help with the middle section width ? Can good results be achieved with my thick skin ?

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

There are many different patterns for alarplasty. In your case I would reduce the flare of the nostrils and narrow the nostril floor. Some surgeons are very conservative with this procedure while others more aggressive. Done surgeons don’t like  doing them at all

Robert Ciardullo, MD · Answer

Are you a candidate for Alar plasty? An alar plasty narrows the nostril base thereby narrowing the entire nostril. You might want to discuss with your surgeon performing a nasal tip plasty along with this, since it appears that you also have a somewhat bulbous nasal tip.
