Uneven nose - will an alar base reduction fix this? (photos)

Based on these photos, you seem to be a candidate for alar rim cartilage graft to provide support and shape to smaller nostril. Only on the basis of in person evaluation one could give you more details about procedure needed. Good luck.

I would say that this is a case where, performed correctly, an Alar Base Reduction will improve the symmetry of the nose. It's extremely difficult to achieve perfect symmetry with nostril surgery, however due to the different size and position of the right nostril, I believe the Alar Base Reduction will prove a positive intervention.

Hello, and thank you for providing images along with your question. Alar base reduction can change the shape of the nose. The procedure benefits those who want to reduce the look of nasal flaring or those who want to make their nose look more symmetrical. You appear to have slight flaring on your right nostril, and I think you may benefit from the procedure. To know for sure, I highly recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with a strong rhinoplasty portfolio. Such providers will have the expertise in facial anatomy, as well as knowledge about the complexity of the nasal structure. Surgeons will also have a skilled aesthetic eye for producing natural-looking results. Your surgeon will do a proper assessment of your facial profile, recommend and explain the best surgical approach, and ensure the best possible outcome.

Alar Base Reduction helps correct wide alar bases and alar flaring. It is normally done at the end of a rhinoplasty procedure. This is because all the maneuvers done during the rhinoplasty surgery can actually improve the nostril asymmetry and alar base asymmetry, and sometimes you don't need alar base reduction. If you're considering rhinoplasty - be sure to discuss all these points with your surgeon.

An alar base excision will help. I would be interested if your nose had similar asymmetry before surgery. I sissy's tell patients during their first consult that if their nose is crooked before there will be some crookedness after as well.
