I hate the way my nostrils look. I wold like to avoid a full nose job if possible. Do you think I can achieve good results with alasplasty alone and maybe a filler to build up the bridge of my nose? Thanks!

Answer: Alarplasty and alar base resection. In looking at the pictures supplied, I see three characteristics of the depicted nose that can be favorable changed with small procedures on the alar base. The nasal base depicted appears to be wide, to have excessive flair and is asymmetric. These characteristics can frequently be improved using well accepted alar base procedures. These can many times be performed in the office under local anesthesia. I would also recommend you seek consultation with a qualified surgeon who can do computer imaging for you so you can see a simulation of the proposed results. Be well and best regards, Fred G.

Answer: Alar Base Reduction Candidate Although I do believe that you are a candidate for alar base reduction, this may not create the perfect aesthetic balance that you would be able to achieve with a rhinoplasty. Seek out a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced in rhinoplasty and he/she will accurately examine your nose, create a 3D simulation and tailor a plan to your individual needs.
