How Much Does It Cost to Narrow a Very Wide Nose? (photo)

 There are multiple maneuvers during the rhinoplasty procedure to accomplish the goals of  narrowing the nose. Medial and lateral osteotomies accomplish narrowing the nasal bones and accompanying upper lateral cartilages. The tip is narrowed with a combination of cartilage removal and tip suturing techniques to narrow and refine the tip. An alar-plasty involves removing small wedges of skin at the base of the nostrils to narrow the alar base. Please see the link below for examples in our rhinoplasty photo gallery and price list

             You can reduce the size of the tip and narrow the base of the nose for about $5000 on the low end.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

It is hard to tell from the photos if you need your bones broken. If you only need the tip narrowed, the bones don't need to be broken. You would also benefit from cutting out a segment of your nostrils, referred to alar wedge excisions. This would reduce the flare of the nostrils which appear too wide to me.
