When the nostrils appear wide or flared,
excess volume is carefully reduced
to create a slimmer nasal width.
With thoughtful consideration of
overall facial proportions, the alar base
is refined, resulting in a well-balanced
appearance from both frontal
and lateral views.

Recovery 
To achieve a natural and
sophisticated look, alarplasty must
be individually tailored based on
each patient’s facial shape
and nasal anatomy.
The width of the alae and degree
of flare are analyzed to determine
the optimal reduction range that
complements the entire face.
Rather than excessive reduction,
the natural curvature of the alar
rim and nasal flow are preserved
to achieve a harmonious,
refined contour.
The nostrils appear slimmer from
the front, while the side profile
appears smooth, natural, and
well-defined.
This technique is recommended when the
nasal base is wide but skin volume
is limited, or when tip augmentation
is also needed.
An incision is made in the thick
tissue inside the nostril, the alar base
is reduced, and the shape is refined
before suturing.
This technique is applied when
excess alar skin causes outward flaring.
Tissue at the outer nostril base
is excised to reduce width, followed
by careful suturing to create
a natural contour.
This is ideal for patients with a wide
nostril base whose nostrils flare when
smiling or making facial expressions,
or those who want to minimize scarring.
Sutures are placed along both sides
of the alar base and gently tightened
to narrow and secure the shape.
For cases involving both a wide
nostril base and excess alar skin,
multiple methods may be combined
to achieve more effective and
balanced results.
