Bothered by wideness. Would only an Alarplasty help?

illnoispupJan 14, 2025

The nostril width and flare can make them look prominent and noticeable. The best solution is alarplasty. It is a quick procedure done under local anesthesia that addresses both issues. The recovery is quick. Regards Dr. J

Your nose has good profile and a well defined tip. However the nostrils are prominent and give a harsh look to the nose. You are a good candidate for alarplasty. Regards Dr. J
