THE FACE PLASTIC SURGERY
Slimming a Wide, Bulky Nose
with Precision
Alarplasty (Alar Reduction)
THE FACE PLASTIC SURGERY
Based on Alar Size,
Skin Thickness, and
Various Other Characteristics
The Most Suitable Surgical
Approach Is Determined
In a well-balanced nose,
the shape and size of the nostrils
play a critical role.
To achieve a natural and
sophisticated look, alarplasty must
be individually tailored based on
each patient’s facial shape
and nasal anatomy.
-
KEY POINT 01
Customized Design Based on
Facial Proportions
The width of the alae and degree
of flare are analyzed to determine
the optimal reduction range that
complements the entire face.
-
KEY POINT 02
Refinement That Preserves
Natural Curves
Rather than excessive reduction,
the natural curvature of the alar
rim and nasal flow are preserved
to achieve a harmonious,
refined contour.
-
KEY POINT 03
Refined Appearance
from All Angles
The nostrils appear slimmer from
the front, while the side profile
appears smooth, natural, and
well-defined.

Surgical Techniques
-
CASE 01
Internal Incision
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.
-
CASE 02
External Incision
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.
-
CASE 03
Suture (Binding)
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.
-
CASE 04
Combination Approach
For cases involving both a wide
nostril base and excess alar skin,
multiple methods may be combined
to achieve more effective and
balanced results.
