When the Tip is Raised, Would the Nostrils Be Bigger?

Raising the nasal tip will not make your nostrils bigger. The size of your nostrils will remain the same as well as the shape.

Thank you for the great question. This is a tricky, technical issue. While it is possible to elevate the tip of the nose and not have any changes in the nostril shape or size, promising that this would be the case reveals a less sophisticated understanding of rhinoplasty. Any time the tip is rotated up or decreased in projection, this means that something about the tip cartilages has been changed.  Since the tip cartilages are partly responsible for the shape, size, and position of the nostrils, these may change as well.  Not all changes will be very obvious, and in most cases, this can be controlled with minor changes to the alar base (nostril reduction) or use of structural grafts. Best of luck!
 

          The bulbous nature of the nose can be corrected and the tip raised as well.  The nostril size does not necessarily have to be altered.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
