Hello, this is Director Cho Gyu-sang of AB Plastic Surgery.
Today, I will answer a question about alar reduction.
Q. Can alar reduction alone correct a bulbous nose?
People sometimes mistake a wide nasal alar base for a bulbous nose.
First, a bulbous nose refers to a nose tip that is large and blunt. More medically speaking,
it refers to a case where the ratio of the nose tip width to the alar base width is 60% or higher.
Therefore, if the alar base is reduced, a bulbous nose may appear more pronounced in the medical sense.
However, many people think they have a bulbous nose simply because their alar base is wide,
and for these people, alar reduction can achieve the desired effect, so an accurate diagnosis is necessary.
