Nostril flare and tip over-projection (Photo)

You are a great candidate for rhinoplasty with an alarplasty, also known as alar base reduction. The rhinoplasty would reduce your tip projection and an alarplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces the width of the nostrils. It primarily focuses on the alar region, which is the outermost part of the nostrils and I often recommend this for patients who feel that their nostrils are too wide or flared. I frequently perform the rhinoplasty and alarplasty at the same time.
During the alarplasty procedure, I makes small incisions in the creases where the nostrils meet the cheeks and removed the excess tissue to narrow the nostril width. The result is a more proportionate and narrower nose that complements your other facial features. I hope this helps! - Dr. Costeloe

Hello from Istanbul! Yes, it's possible to reduce both the tip projection and the width of the nostrils simultaneously. In fact, as you said, deprojecting the tip can cause the nostrils to appear wider, so an alarplasty is a good idea for achieving a balanced and harmonious result. Best of luck to you!

Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. The length of the tip can be reduced and the tip could be made less boxy at the same time. While it's true that deprojecting the tip can make the nostrils flare a bit, if you are reducing the nostril size anyway, that could be taken care of easily. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.
