I’ve had a rhinoplasty in the past, but because my alars are uneven and one is more thick than the other nose looks asymmetric from the front. Would alarplasty solve my problem and improve the symmetry? I know there’s a procedure to reduce the thickness of the alar itself but that not many surgeons attemp it because of risks. I would be willing to asume the risks, would that procedure help my case?
