I want to get the alarplasty to reduce my nostrils size however I am worried that this will make my nose appear long and thick because the nostrils are now smaller.
Answer: Alarplasty and/or rhinoplasty Hello Alexisc188! - If you are just bothered by the size or your nostrils, you can definitely benefit from just an alarplasty. However if there are other features of your nose that bother you, then you can consider rhinoplasty with alarplasty. Best of luck!

Answer: Should I go with rhinoplasty and alarplasty or would the alarplasty be sufficient? Thanks for your question. You certainly have some options here, but other photos are necessary along with an in person consultation to make that determination. You should seek consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon that specializes in rhinoplasty. Best wishes.

Answer: I find that computer imaging is a great way to determine of partial or full rhinoplasty is necessary Often the nose is balanced. A Wide nose may be accompanied by wide nostrils. Alarplasty alone may be sufficient or you might need a full rhinoplasty for a balanced result. Computer imaging is a great way to evaluate both possibilities.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. You may also benefit from a reduction in the width of the alar base (alarplasty). Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Full rhinoplasty versus alar-plasty An alar-plasty involves only narrowing wide nostrils from the base view. A full rhinoplasty involves making changes to the entire structure of the nose. Computer imaging and an in-person examination will help patients make that decision.
