How much do you know about alar reduction?

Hello, this is Objet Plastic Surgery.

If you were to pick the most central feature of a person’s face, almost everyone would choose the nose.

The nose has a very significant influence on a person’s impression and image. In the past, a nose with a blunt tip and large alae that spread wide to the sides was considered desirable and referred to as a fleshy nose. However, in modern times, because it can create an unsophisticated impression, many people with a blunt tip or wide alae seek fleshy nose surgery or alar reduction surgery.

In addition, a broad, blunt nose can make the nostrils look larger and make the nose appear lower than its original height. If you are considering Gangnam alar reduction surgery, we hope this will be an opportunity to learn more in detail from now on.

When the alae are wide

As mentioned above, when the width of the nasal alae is broad, the nostrils can look larger and the nose can appear lower than it actually is. Accordingly, people want to reduce the width of the alae to correct the size of the nostrils and have a nose that better matches the balance of the face.

■ Alar reduction surgery

This is a surgery that improves the width and shape by cutting the alae in a wedge shape and removing them. Aside from scarring, there are very few side effects. However, that does not mean everyone can undergo this surgery; in reality, the only part that can be removed is the base of the nostril, so even if the alae are equally wide, this is only an effective method when the base is large.

However, in the following cases, it is difficult to achieve the effects of Gangnam alar reduction.

✔ When the nostrils are small but appear wide because the tissue is thick

✔ When they appear wide because of width relative to height

✔ When the nostril axis does not look long from front to back, but instead spreads out to both sides

Although it is a relatively simple surgical method, side effects may occur if the optimal diagnosis is not made.

The nose’s most important function is breathing rather than aesthetics, so you should not reduce the size of the nostrils indiscriminately and impair its original function.

Also, because alar reduction uses a cutting method, once tissue is removed it is difficult to return to the original state, and since it creates a permanent change, it must be approached very carefully.

If the situation requires a lot of tissue to be removed and the incision extends to the upper or outer part of the alae, scarring can also remain significantly, so caution is needed.

To minimize the side effects that can occur through Gangnam fleshy nose surgery, Objet Plastic Surgery carries out the procedure using its own know-how.

In general, if an incision is made inward to reduce the size of the nostrils, the inner incision can become teardrop-shaped, making it very noticeable that surgery was performed. To prevent this in advance, a separate triangular flap is created on the inside, and an incision method that does not create a depression in the base is used.

Just because it is simple and effective does not mean you should take it lightly. Since this method involves cutting and removing tissue, you must choose a plastic surgery clinic with extensive experience and strong expertise.
