Can only tip plasty and alarplasty be done without bridge augmentation for Asian nose?

November 7, 2020

My biggest concern is flat & wide nasal tip with flaring of alar (piggy nose). PS suggested rib graft rhinoplasty and alar resection. I’m unsure if he’s doing DCF/the entire piece/diced cartilage without fascia for dorsal. I want to avoid “invasive” surgery like harvesting rib graft. He suggested tip plasty with ear cartilage & alar resection. Will I be able to see good result with just tip plasty & alarplasty alone? And Is the risk of warping high for diced rib cartilage without fascia? Thanks.
