Am I an alarplasty candidate? Or do I need a revision? (Photo)

February 19, 2023
Asked By:Rosyflor5 in Sanger, California

I had rhinoplasty in 2009 to remove a hump on my nose. However, I did not have anything done to the tip. I am not happy with how bulbous it looks. My nose looks wide and looks even wider when I smile. Would alarplasty help balance my nose, or do I need revision? I am happy with my profile, however the size of my nostrils is what bothers me.
