Alarplasty for High and Flared Nostrils?

September 20, 2009
Asked By:shyvixx in new york

I have a decent bridge but I have very flared nostrils and they are high as well. I want my nostils to be greatly reduced and the bridge narrowed a little bit, like Janet Jackson's nose. But the doctor told me this is impossible, and the results I want would be mininimal at best. Can I get this type of nose through Alarplasty with the one I have?
