Hello,

This is Ainic.

Of course, when meeting someone

the face is the first thing they see,

and because it plays an important role in creating a first impression,

many people pay close attention to their face.

In particular, the nose, which is located at the center of the face,

must be considered not only for harmony with other features

but also for functional aspects,

so a thorough examination and careful surgery are important.

Among them, a bulbous nose with wide nostrils,

which is common among Asians,

is something that should be improved by finding the ideal proportion.

Today, we will take a look at Ainic’s alarplasty,

which is performed safely and precisely

while considering perfect proportions and overall harmony.

Then, let’s check together whether alarplasty is needed in your case.

First, if the width of the nostrils is wide, making the nose look blunt

If the bridge is high but the tip looks spread out

If the nostrils hang lower than the columella

If the nostrils hang lower than the columella

If the shape of the nostrils is not harmonious with the face

If the nostrils are still widely spread even after nasal tip surgery

Through nostril reduction surgery,

a refined nose can be designed.

However, if you simply try to reduce the nose tip

and proceed with surgery without an accurate diagnosis,

your face shape or overall facial harmony may be disrupted,

and the result may not be satisfying.

3D CT before surgery

to perform an accurate skeletal examination.

This equipment uses the Green16 model, which reduces radiation exposure

by using a fast scanning speed, and allows three-dimensional diagnosis

of the skeletal structure. Based on this, a one-on-one consultation is conducted,

and a customized surgical plan is established for each individual.

The next point to check is

the appropriate proportion for alarplasty.

In general, the proper width of the nostrils is the degree to which they fall within

the vertical line drawn from the inner corners of the eyes.

If this 기준 is exceeded, the nostrils may appear spread out

and look like a bulbous nose.

Through nostril reduction,

you can achieve the ideal proportion that suits your face.

Then, let’s take a look at Ainic’s

alarplasty procedure. Ainic performs nostril reduction surgery using appropriate methods

according to each patient’s different type.

After excising the skin below the nose in a wedge shape

and suturing it to reduce the nostrils,

for those who want a more definite effect,

in addition to the skin excision method,

the nostrils are brought together using sutures

to provide a more dramatic effect.

Also, for those whose alar wings are thick and

hang below the columella,

the alar wing skin is excised in an oval shape

to reduce nostril volume,

and alarplasty is performed using this method.

Ainic Plastic Surgery Clinic does not use

a standardized design or surgical method,

but provides satisfying post-surgery results

through customized solutions based on each person’s condition. Also, as plastic surgery is a procedure that brings significant changes

to one’s face, choosing the clinic and doctor is important.
