I had my first nose surgery 3 years ago, and since last year I’ve been going around to consultations here and there. The place I liked was one clinic. They said the surgery would involve alar reduction (bulbous nose correction), lowering the columella, correction of a deviated nose, autologous costal cartilage, and ear cartilage. I was about 90% decided to do it there, but then I went for a consultation at another clinic. There, they said I didn’t need alar reduction... They said my alae aren’t thick; rather, the silicone implant on the nasal bridge is sitting thickly, making the dorsum look thick and making it look like a bulbous nose. For the side profile, the consultations at both places were basically the same, but for the front view, one place recommended alar reduction and the other did not... I looked into the other clinic because the reviews were good, and ah... I’m really drawn to that clinic too. But whether or not to do alar reduction is weighing on my mind, so I’m torn... Honestly, after this consultation I was leaning toward the other clinic, but the two places have different directions, so I’m torn again... Everyone who had alar reduction, do you not regret it...? They said that if I replace the silicone, the thick-looking part can be improved, but because I’m considering alar reduction, the front view may not come out the way I’m thinking... So I’m even more torn...

야호 That must be hard to decide.. I hope you choose carefully~
Cindypark9… I hope you choose carefully
유햅비 Hmm.. If both places are saying different things, that would definitely be confusing. But it does seem true that if you do alar reduction, the horizontal width of the nose looks at least a little smaller from the front. For now, try going for another consultation or think about it a bit more and choose carefullyㅜ
gavii Wow, my concern is exactly the same as yours, damn... I also had a consultation there, and they told me I didn’t really need alar reduction. They said it’s not to the point where I need it, and if the nose is raised to some extent, the alae can naturally look smaller too. What I’m also kind of torn about is that this place seems to be the one that doesn’t recommend this and that, and only pinpoints what’s needed, so I’m conflicted ㅜ
seywoobly I like things to be definite, so definitely alar reduction.. I’d hate it more if time passed and I wondered, should I have done it?
rydryd But they say alar reduction is hard to reverse.. So get the surgery first and think about it later….!
