Should I do alar trim first before bridge augmentation and tip plasty? What’s the best time gap for each procedure?

rmc19
I am planning to undergo rhinoplasty, but I am torn between two amazing surgeons. The 1st dr. is really good at doing bridge augmentation and tip plasty. He does the most natural looking bridges, but a lot complains about his assymetrical/overtrimmed alars and bad scarring. The 2nd dr. is famous for his seamless alar trims — which I love, but his bridges are too high at the radix part. I’m planning to do alar trimming first, but I don’t know when should i do the rest. What do you think? Thanks!
