Would I benefit from alarplasty? (photos)

Question

So, i like the shape of my nose, I just want to reduce the width of my nose, and get it to stop flaring when I smile. Would an alarplasty address this?

Robert Ciardullo, MD · Answer

Alarplasty: an alar plasty is typically performed to reduce the width of the base of the nostrils. The appropriateness of this procedure for you must be assessed in person to determine if narrowing the alar base will in any way compromise the airway. If it does not compromise the airway and the alar base is significantly wider than the tip an alar base reduction can be considered. But there must remain a triangular relationship between the ala base and the tip.
