Measuring AlarplastyIt is very confusing to measure the alarplasty in mm. Typically it means that if you draw a line from the medial canthus downwards it should touch the sides of the nostrils. However, based on that a 5mm change will be huge. The other way to measure that might be more accurate is to measure the actual width of the wedge removed from the sides at its maximum width. Another point to remember is that in some patients the width of the nostrils is not as much of an issue as the flare of the nostrils.The best way IMHO is to think of alarplasty change as small, medium, large and jumbo. Squeeze the upper lip to bring together the nostrils and see how much change do you want. RegardsDr. J
Yes, both can be done at the same time under local. It takes about 1.5hrs. The physical recovery is by next day since you are not put to sleep. Do some research to make sure you get to the surgeon who is comfortable in both of these procedures. Regards Dr. Janjua
There is no connection betwen your nasolabial folds and your afroamerican alar excess, actually I'd never say you have bad, too visible or deep nasolabial folts, they are sweet and mild ones, no reasons to be concerned about them. Alarplasty can be an option, however in these ethnic noses...
You could totally get that fixed. I think you probably need a little moree xcision on the right nostril.
