I want my nose smaller how much would it cost? (photos)

Question

Can my nostrils be smaller like more closed ? My nose is also a little big but no hump just wide on the bottom and getts wider when I smile I hate it

John Nguyen, MD, FACS · Answer

Judging from the photos, you would benefit from ala base reduction and tip refinement.  In my practice, this procedure typically costs $8,000 to $10,000.  Good luck and be safe.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can
accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your
lower nose. Cost varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise.  Make sure you specifically look at before and after
pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon
and not just a computer animation system. The most important
aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek
consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate
you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

A rhinoplasty procedure can accomplish narrowing wide nostrils, narrowing the nasal tip cartilages, and narrowing the bridge line. The cost of a rhinoplasty is directly related to the amount of time monitored under anesthesia by a physician anesthesiologist, the amount of time  it takes to perform a procedure in a formal operating room, and the surgeon's fees for performing the rhinoplasty in addition to all of the post operative follow-up appointments for one year. For more information, many before-and-after examples, and our current  rhinoplasty price list, please see the link and the video below

it is hard to tell from the photos, but it sounds like you are wanting essentially the tip of your nose altered. In other words the nostrils to be made smaller and more defined in shape (instead of rounded). Tip rhinoplasty can be done to improve the appearance of the lower third of your nose. The recovery is usually about 10 days

Michael Carlisle, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

Yes! If you want refinement of your nose you can have what's called "alar base reduction." There are several techniques (Weir excision, Sill excision, etc) to achieve this and examining you will determine which is best for you. If you are ONLY having alar base reduction and no other rhinoplasty procedure it would cost on the order of $2000-5000 for the surgeon, anesthesia, facility, etc. I find most people want a whole nose refinement and end up at least getting some nasal tip refinement done with a more formal rhinoplasty and so this costs $6k-10. Hope this helps.
