For a while i have been insecure of my side profile because my nostrils are so big from the side that it distorts my face and overall ruins the side profile. I also have hard time breathing from my nose. Im 18 5'10" 165lbs
Answer: Alarplasty: things you should know Thank you for your question and photos. You appear to be a candidate for alarplasty, a procedure that focuses on altering the base of the nose. Excess tissue can be removed to reduce the appearance of your nostrils and create a more symmetrical and natural-looking result. Correcting nasal asymmetry can often improve breathing issues as well.

Answer: Rhinoplasty surgery may be considered for the repair of a hanging columella, and improved breathing. Based on your photos, you appear to have a wide and flaring nasal tip appearance. This also appears to be associated with a long nasal septum, a hanging columella, and excessive nostril show. Well performed rhinoplasty surgery may be considered to both improve your nasal breathing and to Narrow the base of your nose and achieve less nostril show. Please consult with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging so you can see what might be best for you moving forward. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty surgery. Biggest issue you have is the arched alar rims and the prominence of your lower septum otherwise known as caudal septum. In your case perform a caudal septal excision, alar rim grafting, and alar base (Weir) excisions to improve the disparity and make your nostrils significantly smaller. You should be able to have significant improvement. Best wishes to you.
