1) How soon after rhinoplasty with cartilage graft to define the bridge of the nose can I Have the size of my nostrils and alar base reduced? 2) Can nostrils and alar base reduction be conducted in office when the tip of the nose will possibly need to be reduced as well? In other words can tip work be done in office along nostrils and alar reduction after a primary rhinoplasty? 3) Is there a downside to having alar and nostrils reduction in office after rhinoplasty vs. before rhinoplasty?
