Wide Nostril Rhinoplasty with Alar Base Reduction

The imbalance in your nose is usually due to extra soft tissue on the nostril rims, but may also be due to underprojected or weak nasal tip and cartilage. Alar base reduction may be performed at the same time as a full rhinoplasty, or separately on its own. Only after a comprehensive... more
Alar base resection
We would have to see your know from several different angles to give you overall advice. From the view that you show, it does look like alar base resection would make a positive change for you. Good luck with your surgery.
