Caucasian Alar Base Reduction? (Photo)

Asked By:manhattanGurl in Manhattan, NY

Hi all, I have had two rhinoplasties that deprojected my nose. As a result my nose appears to be wider. In your medical experience, should alar base reduction or an alternative method (cephalic trimming, cartilage grafting, or simply no action) be pursued? Thanks for your advice.
