I have always been self conscious of my wide nose and bulbous tip. Am I a good candidate for alarplasty or tip plasty? Would either give me a better result in a narrowing effect? I am fine with the bridge of my nose so I don't necessarily want a full rhinoplasty. Advice? Thanks!
Answer: Be complete with rhinoplasty Don't compartmentalize your nose. To have beautiful, harmonious proportions you need to address the nose completely, although the degree of change can be individualized based on your goals.Your pictures suggest that you may benefit from tip refinement and alar reduction. Tip refinement would include narrowing the tip and likely increasing rotation (upward tilt) slightly. Nostril (alar) reduction would be designed to decrease the width of the "sill" (the bottom of the nostril at the lip), which would narrow the width of the base of the nose. Your bridge would likely benefit from narrowing as well, although your pictures do not show the bridge fully. Good luck. Good question.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Alar plasty and tip plasty The nose appears to be wide in the nostrils and that can be corrected with alarplasty very well. The nasal tip also lacks definition with prominent lower lateral cartilages which can be defined with the tip-plasty.This is different than a full rhinoplasty as no nasal dorsal work will be needed and there would be no osteotomies.RegardsDr. J

Answer: Alar-plasty versus tip plasty An alar plasty accomplishes narrowing wide nostrils. A tip plasty accomplishes narrowing wide nasal tip cartilages, also known as the lower lateral cartilages of the tip. Both procedures accomplish different goals.

Answer: Well-performed rhinoplasty surgery may be considered for obtaining a narrower nasal tip and narrower nostrils. Based on your limited photos, you appear to have both flaring nostrils and a bulbous tip on front view. During rhinoplasty surgery, your tip cartilages may be reconstructed to reveal a narrower appearance, and your nostrils may be narrowed to decrease your nostril flaring. Hope this helps you.Thank you.Dr Joseph

Answer: Tip rhinoplasty I would have to view your full nose on your face to be sure, but your tip could be narrowed a bit with a tip plasty if it appears bulbous on your face. Best of luck
