this would be my plan

	open approach, dorsal onlay, thin tip skin, tip shaping sutures, paradoxically may need a tip graft if onlay to dorsum, col strut, alar base reduction

Charles S. Lee, MD, FACS · Answer

I would like to get the lower half of the narrower, both the nostrils as well as the lower portion of your nasal bone.the tip area needs more definition by strengthening the cartilages and removing some fast.any steps you take during surgery will need to prevent over rotation of your nose, so that you don't looking "piggy".

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

The width of the base of your nostrils can be reduced with alar base modification, and the width of the tip of your nose can be reduced with some tip refinement.  Reducing the two in conjunction will maintain the balance of your nose, while reducing it in size and width and giving it a more feminine and attractive appearance.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

If you think that the sides of your nose are too wide, alar base reduction can be considered as a single procedure.  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.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

To narrow the nose lateral osteotomies of the nasal bones are required, especially in the tall nose. An alar plasty is required to narrow the nostrils to make sure the nostril base is in balance with the remainder of the nose. Virtual rhinoplasty software is available on our website for you to try out.
