Hello.
This is Inique Plastic Surgery.
At the center of a person’s face,
there is the nose.
Among the features of the nose,
the alar width helps determine a person’s impression.
Generally, what is considered an appropriate width for the alar base?
The appropriate alar width usually discussed in plastic surgery refers to
the area that falls within the vertical line drawn from the inner corner of the eyes,
as shown in the photo above.
If this standard is exceeded,
the alar base can appear spread out,
which can make the nose look blunt,
or the shape of the alar base may not harmonize with the face,
making it difficult to give a positive impression.
For people like this,
alar reduction is chosen in order to change the overall facial impression
through an ideal ratio for the alar base.
Today, with Inique, a hospital known for doing alar reduction well,
we’ll look at how to find the ideal alar ratio
and design a refined nose.

In the case of alar reduction surgery,
the reduction plan is designed according to each patient’s different case
and according to the face and overall impression.
Inique’s own plan as a hospital that does alar reduction well
The alar reduction method that can be applied to all cases
is to excise the skin on the lower part of the nose in a wedge shape
and then suture it to reduce the alar width.
However, depending on the patient’s situation,
sutures may also be used.
Using sutures can provide a more dramatic reduction effect
than simply removing skin alone.
In some cases, the alar sidewall may droop lower than the columella
or be thick.
In such cases, the skin of the alar sidewall is excised in an oval shape
to reduce the alar volume.
At Inique, a hospital known for doing alar reduction well,
a precise skeletal analysis is performed before surgery
to plan a successful approach.

The 3D CT examination used at this time employs the Green16 model,
which offers a fast scanning speed and reduces radiation exposure.
This machine makes it possible to diagnose the patient’s skeleton three-dimensionally,
allowing detailed assessment of the condition of the nasal bones, septum,
mucosa, and even the cause of nasal obstruction.
As a result, surgical outcomes can be predicted more accurately,
and the risk of complications can be reduced,
helping improve patient safety during surgery.

So, in what cases should alar reduction be considered?
First, as mentioned earlier,
if the alar width is broad and makes the nose look blunt,
if the nasal bridge is high but the tip appears spread out,
if the alar base droops lower than the columella,
if the shape of the alar base does not harmonize with the face,
or if the nose still appears widely spread out even after tip surgery,
it is best to visit the hospital and receive an accurate consultation from a medical specialist.
At Inique, a hospital known for doing alar reduction well,
to ensure a line that lasts long after surgery,
safer surgical materials are used.
Autologous tissue and materials approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety are used,
and side effects are minimized,
with patient safety as the top priority.

Not only the anatomical structure of the nose,
but also its functional aspects are considered comprehensively,
and the design is created with the overall harmony of the face in mind.
Inique Plastic Surgery’s rhinoplasty specialist,
CEO surgeon Yoo Geon-woon,
is a board-certified plastic surgeon who previously served as the director of a well-known plastic surgery clinic.
He has personally handled many different cases
and has been recognized by many patients for the good results achieved after surgery.
The difference made by just one feature of the alar base
can change the mood of the entire face!
If you want to perfectly close that gap,
come together with Inique, a hospital known for doing alar reduction well.
Then, as if you were pretty from the very beginning,
this has been Inique Plastic Surgery.
Thank you.
