Alarplasty/Tip Plasty v. Full Rhino -- more affordable?

March 9, 2021
Asked By:RealSelfMember963 in Kingston, New York

Hello, in 2015 I had an excellent standalone rhinoplasty, and was very happy with my nose. In 2019 I had facial feminization surgery, which was fantastic except for the changes that happened to my nose. One of my nostrils (the right one, left facing you) is much larger than the other and seems to lack any solidity. It makes for a very strange profile, and it isn't easy to breathe through that nostril. The tip seems to droop now as well.
