Tip Rhinoplasty: normal procedure to taper the width of the nostrils to match the refined tip? (photos)

Asked By:lucy1985 in Houston, TX

During tip rhinoplasty is it normal procedure to taper the width of the nostrils to match the refined tip? Or is that a separate surgery? If they are two separate surgeries, which would you recommend for me? I am having surgery done on my turbinates at some point and figured it would save money to get the cosmetic portion done simultaneously.
