Alarplasty or Rhinoplasty? (photos)

You should choose the surgery that will create the ultimate goal that you are seeking. If you are trying to narrow your nose, you would need to narrow not only an alar base but the tip and the nasal bones. Ultimately, it appears you would be happiest with a full rhinoplasty. For this reason, you should wait until the proper time and undergo a full rhinoplasty.I hope this helps

I always advise my patients to choose their procedure based on what they need - not what they can afford at the moment.  If you decide to have the wrong operation simply because it fits your budget you will be disappointed and it will wind up costing you much more in the long run. Alarplasty is a great procedure and an excellent adjunct to rhinoplasty - it is rarely successful by itself.  Changing any part of your nose will alter the relationship and harmony with the other parts of  your nose.  Your surgeon needs to be able to adjust and correct whatever they need to during the surgery.I would strongly suggest you have a full rhinoplasty and if it doesn't fit into your budget this year, wait until it does. 

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, I suggest perform a Closed Rhinoplasty (without visible scars) to treat the tip, base and nasal bridge.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
