I understand that an alarplasty can be performed under local anesthesia. I've had two consultations and have been told I'd be a good candidate for alarplasty by itself. Both doctors have 150+ reviews and almost 5 stars, both double board certified. Is this procedure more of a specialty or can most good surgeons perform it well? For example, for asians, I know it's suggested for them to find a doctor who specialized in that area. Can most rhinoplasty surgeons do an alarplasty well?
