Hi! I'm planning to get alarplasty to reduce the size of my nostrils, but I don't know if I need other procedures or not. My nostril size bothers me but I kinda like the rest of my nose. Do you think alarplasty by itself will improve how my nose looks? Will it look weird if I get just the alarplasty?
