I had consultations for revision rhinoplasty, and since my goal is to improve my blunt-looking nose, while doing revision of the nasal bridge + nasal tip, opinions on alar reduction are split half and half. 1 Does not recommend it. Says raising only the nasal tip is enough. A natural-glam to glamorous style; I canceled the surgery booking because of material issues. 2 Says my nostrils are already small, so it is a bit uncertain, but suggested doing just a little. (But they would do it with an incision, and said the nostrils could become much smaller..?) 3 Says my nose is not one that needs alar reduction. If the goal is improving a bulbous nose, they do not recommend surgery itself 4 Recommends alar reduction, but says I can do the nasal bridge + nasal tip first and add it later. Natural to natural-glam style 5 Says because my nostrils are small, decide on incisional alar reduction after raising the nasal tip first. Since it spreads a lot when I smile, they recommend non-incisional alar reduction. I have to request CCTV viewing by the day before surgery, so I passed on this place.. What would everyone do?? I decided on hospital 4, but opinions on alar reduction are split half and half, so I don't know whether I should do it during surgery or decide after seeing the result after surgery... Originally I wasn't thinking about it, but since the director at the hospital I chose recommended alar reduction, I don't know what to do. I'll attach photos of my current nose condition
하따 Even when they suggest doing it, they still mention that your nostrils are small... If after doing it you complain that breathing feels stuffy, they'll probably be like, "Well, of course, right?;;;" so I personally don't recommend it....
트랄랄랼 [@하따] At the hospital I decided on, they didn't mention my nostrils... They did recommend alar reduction, but I'm worried that if I don't do it because I don't want to, and then the bulbous nose correction doesn't go well and I bring it up, they'll be like, "We told you to do alar reduction then~" and act like that..... I'm worried in a similar sense....... ha, I guess I should just hope it turns out well even without alar reduction, right?
닝닝낭낭누 I think you don't need to do alar reduction
트랄랄랼 [@닝닝낭낭누] Really?! I'm torn because the director at the hospital where I decided to have surgery recommended it, but maybe I'll just do the nasal bridge and nasal tip first Thank you for answering!!!!
하따 [@트랄랄랼] Yeah... there are lots of people who regret even non-incisional alar reduction, and your nose doesn't look like one that really needs it. You could lose more than you gain If you raise the nasal tip more to improve the blunt-looking nose, the alar base can naturally look narrower too, kind of like the tripod theory... Since 1 is a glamorous style, they probably said absolutely no because you'll definitely see an effect in that area
카이사류 It's already enough now, but if you've already decided on the answer, you should go with it
쌍서 It doesn’t seem like it’s half and half
트랄랄랼 [@쌍서] The directors' opinions are so split between do it and don't do it..
트랄랄랼 [@카이사류] I decided on the hospital, but I'm debating whether to do alar reduction there or not ㅜㅡㅜ
마지막이거싶다 I think you don't need alar reduction~~
트랄랄랼 [@마지막이거싶다] Thank you
ㅋㅋㅁ I don’t think you need alar reduction, and it seems like it would be enough to raise the tip a bit more so that, based on photos where the nostrils are fully visible from below, the very tip of the nose rises more into a triangular shape upward.
트랄랄랼 [@ㅋㅋㅁ] Then I guess just doing the bridge and tip first is right... I should try that first
ㅋㅋㅁ [@트랄랄랼] I heard alar reduction is the last resort, and that you’re not supposed to touch it first!
