Hello, this is Inique.

There is a saying that a beautiful face comes from the balance of its features.

In fact, when our facial features are in proper balance,

the face becomes most ideal.

Then, do you know which feature among the facial components

holds the center? It is our nose.

The nose is the center of the face and plays a role in balancing the overall proportions, so interest in rhinoplasty never fades.

From Inique, a plastic surgery clinic specializing in rhinoplasty, we introduce customized rhinoplasty that matches the ideal proportions suited to you.

Alar reduction is a procedure that instantly changes the overall impression of the face.

At a plastic surgery clinic specializing in rhinoplasty,

we recognize the various situations in which alar reduction is needed and respond appropriately to each case.

So, what types of cases need alar reduction, and in what situations can surgery

lead to good results?

It is often used when the alar width is wide, making the nose look blunt, and when the bridge is high but the tip looks spread out.

Or, when the alar side sits lower than the nasal column, and the shape of the alar is not harmonious with the face,

or when the alar remains wide and spread out even after tip surgery, the procedure is performed.

Safe and highly satisfying surgery

At Inique, a plastic surgery clinic specializing in rhinoplasty, we conduct very thorough preoperative diagnosis and testing for safe and accurate surgery.

In particular, for accurate skeletal analysis, we use 3D CT scan equipment, and because we use the Green16 model, which allows for rapid scanning, we have greatly reduced radiation exposure.

In addition, there is a 3D CT that can convey the skeleton in three dimensions, and a precise surgical plan carried out accordingly.

Inique has a total of three rhinoplasty know-how approaches.

First, we minimize side effects by using only autologous tissue and safe materials approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

Second, we perform surgery while comprehensively considering not only the anatomical structure of the nose but also its functional aspects.

Third, we provide a design that is a perfect fit for each person, creating overall harmony with the face.

To complete an ideal face, when reducing the alar, you need to determine the appropriate proportion for your own face.

In general, the proper alar width is about the area within the line drawn straight down from the inner corners of the eyes.

If it exceeds this standard, the alar may appear spread out, and therefore it must be designed in accordance with the proper proportion.

A plastic surgery clinic specializing in rhinoplasty performs surgery using the appropriate method for each individual case.

A common alar reduction method that can be used in most cases is to excise the skin at the lower part of the nose in a wedge shape and then suture it.

If the alar is brought together with thread before excising the skin,

you can see a more dramatic alar reduction effect.

Also, when the alar side is drooping below the nasal column or is thick,

the skin of the alar side can be excised in an oval shape to reduce the volume of the alar.
