Hi - I am E Asian and have a flat, bulbous tip, wide nose. What is the most suitable rhinoplasty surgery for me? I am thinking tip and alar but would like some kind of projection as my side profile is relatively flat. Thank you.

Answer: Lack of tip definition The tip has no definition. The nostrils are wide. An open tip plasty and alarplasty is the best approach to get the definition in the tip and reducing the base of the nose. ip-plasty and Alarplasty You can have the lower half of the nose (tip and nostrils) addressed without breaking the nasal bones. Tip-plasty can address the bulbous tip either through closed or open approach to make it narrow and refined. Alarplasty is a very fine and quick procedure that can narrow the nostrils and reduce the flare to soften the appearance. It has other names as well like ‘Weir Excisions’ or ‘Nostril Reduction’. However, it is important to note that asymmetry of nostrils is common and cannot be corrected with alarplasty. Both of these can be done under local anethesia. Watch the video link below.
