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 plastic surgeon will determine the best way to remove the tissue. This procedure can narrow your nose in a variety ways. You can read more about rhinoplasty.

Nasal hump reduction
There are two major approaches to nasal hump reduction. An endonasal approach entails elevating the cephalic end of the septum, exposing the periosteum. External approaches use an 11-bladed scissor to cut the nasal bones, septum and upper lateral cartilages. An important advantage of this technique is that it allows full preservation of the nasal hump's ULCs.
Columellar incision
The incisions for the columellar rhinoplasty incision are made on the inside of your nostrils. They extend through the columella (the central pole of your nose) and into the nostrils. These incisions can be made low to allow the surgeon access the nasal skin. This incision can be used to alter all three parts of the nose: the tip and the turbinates.
Nasal strut of formed cartilage
A columellar strit, a graft of cartilage can be used to narrow a nose. This is used to stabilize the nose tip after open rhinoplasty. The strut consists of a piece or cartilage that extends out from the nasal base. It attaches directly to the septal articular, stabilizing the nose's base and allowing the nasal tip to grow properly.
Reconstruction of the alar cartilage using cartilage transplants
Reconstruction of cartilaginous cartilage is an alternative to the reshaping nose. It is a spreader-graft graft that proves its versatility. 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 may be beneficial in preventing or correcting inverted "V" deformity, as well as improving airway flow for those with internal nasal valve deformities. It was also tested in Caucasian patients with bulbous tip.
Reconstruction and grafting of cartilage to the sphenoid nasal.
The advantages of reconstructing the sphenoid sinus with cartilaginous-grafts include: This procedure can improve the aesthetic and functional results of the nose. It is a reliable procedure that may improve cosmetic results in a wide variety of patients. It can improve the appearance of the sphenoid, a tiny bony structure located at the back end of the nose.
Other procedures for nose narrowing
If you have noticed that your nose is narrow, you may want to consider other procedures. A septoplasty, which is a surgical procedure, will tighten your nostrils. It can improve your overall appearance. This procedure involves controlled cutting of your nasal bones to reshape the shape and make them more prominent. This will restore your nose's smooth curve. It can take several weeks to recover from septoplasty. The procedure will allow you to resume your daily activities.
