There are many ways to narrow your nose. One common procedure is to remove cartilage from the base or nostrils. It's called alar base removal. Your surgeon will advise you on the best way of removing the tissue. This procedure can narrow your nose in a variety ways. Learn more about rhinoplasty procedures.

Reduced nasal hump
There are two main options for nasal hump relief. An endonasal method involves raising the cephalic end and exposing periosteum. An external approach uses an 11-bladed knife to access the nasal bones, the septum and the upper lateral cartilages. This technique has the important advantage that it preserves all of the ULCs in the nasal hump.
Columellar incision
Incisions for columellar surgery in rhinoplasty can be made on the inside and extend through to the columella. These incisions are low and allow the surgeon to lift the nasal skin envelope to expose the underlying nasal structures. This incision placement permits a complete alteration of the nose's three components: the tip, the turbinates, and the alar base.
Formed cartilage is strutted by the Nasal
A columellar-strut is a graft made from formed cartilage. It can be used to reduce the nose. It is used by a surgeon to stabilize the nasal tip following an open rhinoplasty procedure. The strut, a piece cartilage that extends from your nasal base, is a part of the cartilage. It attaches with the septal cartilage to stabilize the base of the nose. The nasal tip can then project properly.
Alar cartilage reconstruction using cartilage grafts
Reconstruction of cartilaginous cartilage is an alternative to the reshaping nose. Its versatility is apparent in its potential to be used as a spreader. Although it is not recommended for use with these grafts in large numbers, some patients have reported that it can be used as a dorsum transplant. This alternative could be useful in correcting or preventing inverted "V" deformities, and improving the airway flow for patients with internal nasal valve defects. It has also been used to treat bulbous tips in Caucasian patients.
Reconstruction of the sphenoid Sinus with cartilage Grafts
Reconstruction of the sphenoid sinus with cartilaginous grafts has several advantages. This procedure can improve the aesthetic and functional results of the nose. It is reliable and can improve cosmetic results for a broad range of patients. It can improve the appearance of the sphenoid, a tiny bony structure located at the back end of the nose.
Other methods for nose narrowing
You may be interested in other options if your nose seems narrow. A septoplasty, or surgical process, will narrow your nostrils to improve your overall appearance. To reshape and enhance your nasal bones, controlled cuts are made. This will help restore the smooth curved bridge of your nose. A septoplasty procedure can take several month to heal. The procedure will allow you to resume your daily activities.
