Masculine Tipplasty with Alarplasty
NOSE TIP REFINEMENT AND NOSTRIL NARROWINGA refined tip and narrower nostril base that stay masculine.
CONCERN ADDRESSED
A broad nasal tip with wide or flared nostrils.
PROCEDURE
The tip is refined and supported with cartilage, and alarplasty narrows the nostril base through small incisions in the natural crease.
ANAESTHESIA & DURATION
Anaesthesia planned at consultation · typically 1.5–2 hours
RECOVERY
Tapes and sutures off at 5–7 days. Visible swelling settles over 2–3 weeks.
FINAL RESULT
Most swelling resolves by 3 months; tip definition keeps refining for 12–18 months.
Post-op photos were taken during early recovery, before swelling has settled. The final result develops over the months that follow.
