If I've got an alarplasty done already, how long would I need to wait before I can get a tip plasty?
Answer: How long do I need to wait to get a tip plasty done after having an alarplasty? It is ideal to wait 6-12 months before having another procedure to the nose. This allows tip for your body to heal and swelling to subside. Hope this helps.

Answer: Considerations during rhinoplasty and tip plasty For a standard alarplasty, the majority of the swelling should subside within the first 3 months. From a blood supply standpoint you could safely undergo a tip plasty almost immediately, though from an aesthetic standpoint I would wait until after the swelling has resolved.

Answer: Rhinoplasty after alar base reduction Great question! I don't think you will find a definitive answer to this question, but my general thoughts would be to wait until things are healed from that procedure before proceeding with a rhinoplasty (around 3-4 months). I think the biggest reason I would wait is to see what how that initial procedure changes the overall balance of your nose and the rest of your face before deciding on exact changes to the tip of the nose. Hope this helps and best of luck! Kyle Kimura, MD

Answer: Alarplasty and Tip-plasty After an alarplasty you should wait for at least 3 months for 2 reasons. 1. Pulling on the nostrils can distort or rip them 2. The tip swelling is still there for the first 3 months. Regards Dr. Janjua
