I am looking to enhance my nose but I am not sure if I should do an alarplasty/tip plasty or rhinoplasty. I would prefer not to alter my bridge because I do not want a foreign body in my nose! I would like to the keep the natural look of my ethnic nose but I noticed that when I smile my nose is pretty unsymmetrical and gets pretty wide. I am looking to get rid of my bulbous tip and add some refinement all while still looking as natural as possible.

Answer: Tip rhinoplasty... Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty of the tip. The cartilage can be reshaped and made stronger so it looks thinner and more defined. The bridge can be brought in as well. Understand that you have thick skin, which will keep it from getting too small, but it should be a very nice improvement. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

Answer: I don't think bridge augmentation is necessary. Thank you for your question. Looking at your pictures, I can say that your nasal bridge is not low considering the ethnicity. Therefore, it is not necessary to augment it by using an implant. Alar base reduction is also not necessary. The tip plasty is required to correct bulbousness. You can have a slimmer and aesthetically beautiful nose shape through tip plasty.The nasal bone looks rather wide, and it will be accurate to decide after an examination whether osteotomy is needed to be performed in your case.
