Is alarplasty and tip plasty the right procedure for me? I have a broad and wide nose. (photo)

From the photos, you are a good candidate to make your nose more narrow. I don't know if it can ever be pointed because your skin is a bit thick, but a nice, natural improvement should be able to be made. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation. The price usually varies between $5000 and $10000.

You are good candidate for alar plasty as you have wide nostrils with a flare.  The tip is bulbous and tip plasty will reduce it and make it more well defined.  You do not need a Gore-Tex implant.  The cost varies between different geographical locations.  A surgeons fee can be between $5000-$10,000.RegardsDr. J

hello. I think an alar resection will help you for the width at the bottom of the nose and tip plastic would help make the tip less bulbous and round.  You would have good results with these procedures.  I personally don't think you need to have any implant placed.  Good luck 

Hello and thanks. For facial harmony and improved nasal aesthetics you need a rib cartilage graft to your bridge, nasal tip cartilage reduction, cartilage grafts, and alar base reduction. Spreader grafts would be used to maintain latency of your airway. Cost range is $7500-$15000. Good luck

You are right to not want a goretex implant.  These carry a host of problems.  I would also avoid silicone, Medpor or porous polyethylene implants for similar reasons.  The terms "alarplasty" and "tip plasty" are parts of a rhinoplasty or a nose job.  I think by those terms, you are referring to narrowing the width of the base of your nose and refining the tip, respectively.  These are reasonable goals in your particular case...to a limit.  "Ethnic rhinoplasty" is a more recent term used to describe rhinoplasties that are done to more closely approximate someone's original ethnicity.  For example, it would not be wise to try and create a Scandinavian type nose for a patient of African descent.  Skin properties also bear influence on final results.  If you have thick skin, as with Middle Eastern or African patients, many of the tip refinements may not be realized because they may mask the underlying framework.  Properly performed, there should not be any issues with breathing.  In fact, it should improve in many cases.  Typical costs for a primary rhinoplasty (first time) in Beverly Hills can range from $7000-$12,000.  Beware of the 2 hour rhinoplasty.  I personally do not know how that can be performed with accuracy or with long-lasting results.

Alarplasty and tipplasty are terms used to describe alterations to the nasal alar and tip for a more desirable appearance. While some patients may be candidates for isolated nostril reshaping , changes to the top and nostril should always be considered in the context of the entire nose and face. Changes performed on one part of the nose may afffecr how the rest of the nose looks and how it blends with the face to appear natural. 
For patients of African descent , alarplasty is commonly performed as part of rhinoplasty. A properly performed nostrils reshaping can yield a very dramatic result. On the other hand, poorly performed nostril reshaping is one of the most common reasons I see patients for revision African American rhinoplasty.

Hi,Based on the photos you provided, you seem to have a bulbous wide tip, and wide nasal bridge. The bulbous tip needs to be reshaped; grafts may need to be used for the tip as well as the bridge of your nose. The bridge of your nose will have to be reconstructed, the nostrils narrowed. This surgery can be customized to each individual based on desired results. I think that you don’t need to change the rest of your face. Ethnic Rhinoplasty is by far the most challenging cosmetic operation in cosmetic surgery. This because the anatomy and skin thickness requires special techniques to achieve desired results. Do your research online and try to choose a surgeon that can deliver results that you seek. Surgeons before and afters will help you with that. Choosing the right surgeon who has experience is imperative; you want to avoid any revision in the future. You can send me your photos for computer imaging.See weblink for in depth review of my techniques.Best,Dr. S
