How do I make the middle of my nose balanced with nostrils after alarplasty? (photos)

Question

I had alarplasty and tiplasty done. But now the space between my nostrils looks too wide in comparison to my nostrils. How can I achieve a more symmetrical or balanced look?

Hello! Thank you for your question.From the photos you provided I can say that your tip is very undefined and it makes your nose like a wall. Also your skin is a little thick and you need to be patient about the recovery stage. For gain more defined and elegant nose I recommend you revision rhinoplasty. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!

Good Morning! Thanks for the question. An open rhinoplasty which further refines the tip cartilages can help with what you're referring to. An open approach which allows full visualization of the underlying structure is best. Increasing your projection may help to create more definition and narrowness. I would revisit with your surgeon if you're comfortable. Or, seek consultation with a Facial Plastic Surgeon to learn more.
