There are several ways of performing alar base reductions: one, which reduces the alar base as well as the size of the nostril and two, reducing the alar base alone without affecting the size of the nostril. You are a candidate for the latter. Consult with a Board-Certified plastic surgeon who will accurately examine your nose and create a plan tailored to your needs and wishes. Good luck!
I agree that the nostrils should not be reduced in size. Using a strut graft to give the tip more projection would make the alar appear smaller relative to the overall size of the "new" tip. The graft would also give your tip a more refined appearance.
Dear summersday19 Thank you for your photographs and your question. It's easier to reduce the width of your nostrils but not the height. You will need a columella strut graft to elevate your tip and narrowing your tip. I would seek an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon....
Your nasal tip can certainly be reshaped to give you a smaller and more feminine look. Your expectations must be realistic though, your nose will probably not exactly as the model you have shown. The cost will vary between $5000 and $8000. Good luck.
Alar base reduction alone will produce only minimal changes to the profile. Review your needs with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon
