Should I get a tip plasty with alar plasty? (photo)

Question

I am confident in my decision to get an alarplasty, but I’m concerned about my nose’s proportions potentially looking off or unnatural, even to the point of resembling an alien. Would a tip plasty help create a more balanced and cohesive result? I’m aiming for a natural look that enhances my nose while still feeling like me.

Andrew Miller, MD · Answer

The goal is to keep the base of the nose looking triangular. Sometimes, if the tip is not improved, bringing in the alae can make the nose look less triangular and more square. It is important to see an expert rhinoplasty surgeon for consultation that can do computer imaging at the same time so you can see how it might look.
