Is my nose bridge low and alar base wide? (Photos)

May 7, 2022
Asked By:BOBBOMARLEY in California, CA

Only considered tip plasty but consultation doctor suggested otherwise. I've been considering rhinoplasty to reshape my bulbous tip and narrow my nose bridge, however the doctor I consulted with also suggested goretex implant for bridge + alar reduction. Are these procedures necessary for me? Although it does look visually flat from front I think it's caused by the wide nose bridge, and narrowing it would help with the flatness, please let me know your thoughts.
