I’m thinking of doing rhinoplasty. So i was wondering if my bridge is considered low or not? My priority is to fix my alar & tip - as my nostril is too visible from the front side. My concern is that i will look unnatural if I just fix the tip & alar without the bridge. if i do need a bridge fix, i’m thinking of doing rib cartilage. But i’m worried it might look too high if i use rib. If you consider my face harmony, how should i fix my nose? How high should i do my bridge?

For the widening nostrils an alarplasty can be done at the same time.
