Would I Benefit From Columella and Alar Base Reduction?

Alar base reduction can help restore symmetry to the nostrils. It is also possible to improve the appearance of the columella. There are a number of reasons that can contribute to the appearance of the columella, and technique used would depend on your individual circumstances. A great start would be to post some photos, and seek an in-person consult with a board certified rhinoplasty specialist who has a great deal of experience. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck.

While there is only so much that can be achieved with an alar base reduction alone, you do appear to be a good candidate for restoring
moderate symmetry with just this technique.  However, to address other concerns, such as with your columella, likely a more extensive procedure would be indicated-  this needs to be assessed by meeting with a surgeon experienced in working on African ethnic noses.

Alar base reduction is a great way to reduce the width of the nostrils and/or make them appear more even and symmetric. If this is what you wish to do, then yes, you will benefit. When choosing a surgeon to perform alar base reduction, they will ideally be:

1) Well-trained in ethnic rhinoplasty
2) Board certified and fellowship trained

Photos would really be necessary to give you advice on your columella. During a consult, you will be able to discuss your needs with your surgeon. It is possible to create a nose that appears natural and is in harmony with your face. Thanks, and good luck!
