What rhinoplasty options are there for me? Am I a good candidate for an alar base reduction?

July 4, 2016

I'm 22 and I've always felt like my nose is too wide for my face. I'm considering an alar base reduction. But I'm not sure if Thats what I need. I feel like the bridge and length is okay. But me main complaint is that the width of my nose basically ruins my face, especially when I smile. Overall I want just a subtle change to my nose that'll put it in harmony with the rest of my face. Thank you.
