Nasal ala reduction surgery
As explained by Director Park Si-hyun
<Selection Criteria>

Hello.
This is Objet Plastic Surgery.
When the nostrils look spread out,
you may have thought
that you only needed to reduce the width of the nose.
But after actually getting a consultation,
you may have been caught off guard by comments like,
"It looks like the tip should be done at the same time."
"We need to look at the overall proportions."
You may have felt confused
after hearing things like that.
You probably thought
simply reducing the nostrils would be enough,
but after looking into it more closely,
it turns out to be more complicated than expected.
In fact, there are many different reasons
why the nostrils may appear wide.
So for some people,
simply reducing the nostrils
can make a clear difference,
while for others,
reducing only the nostrils can actually make the nose look worse.
Even with the same nasal ala reduction surgery,
the result can be completely different
depending on the condition of your nose.

So today,
we’ll organize things step by step:
which cases are suitable for nasal ala reduction,
which cases require a different approach,
and what criteria you should use
when choosing a clinic.
If you read to the end,
you’ll be able to judge more clearly
whether nasal ala reduction is the right choice for your nose.
A nose that only needs the nostrils reduced?
Not every bulbous nose is the same!
Not every bulbous nose is
the same.
There are cases where the bridge and tip
have a relatively appropriate height,
but the nostrils are spread wide.
In such cases,
nasal ala reduction alone can be enough
to create a noticeably more refined impression.
If the bridge is somewhat raised
and the tip is not blunt,
but only the width of the nose is broad,
then simply reducing the nostrils
can make the overall nasal proportions
look much more balanced.

This kind of nose already has
vertical dimension and structure.
So if you adjust only the horizontal width,
the balance can be restored naturally.
To put it simply,
it is like a building that already stands tall enough,
where you only need to tidy up
the parts that stick out on both sides.
Since the height is sufficient,
the whole structure can be completed beautifully
even by reducing only the width.
Therefore, if the bridge and tip
are already well-formed and slender,
nasal ala reduction surgery alone
can deliver satisfying results.
A nose like this
should not be treated by reducing only the nostrils!
On the other hand,
what happens if the bridge is low
and the tip is blunt,
but only the nostrils are reduced?
In this case,
the bluntness of the tip may stand out even more.

If a nose is overall low and wide,
narrowing only the width
can make the tip appear relatively larger
and more dull.
It is similar to narrowing only the sides
of a low building.
If the height is low
and the width is reduced as well,
the low and flat feeling
can actually become more pronounced.
In fact, in such cases,
people sometimes undergo only nasal ala reduction surgery
and then later worry about revision surgery because of complaints like:
"It looks more cramped than before."
"I think the tip looks even more blunt."
In situations like this,
rather than reducing the nostrils,
it is much more natural to enhance the bridge and tip together
so the overall dimensionality improves.

In the end, what matters is whether the nostrils appear wide because of the nostrils themselves,
or because the overall height and proportions make them look relatively wide.
Only by accurately distinguishing between those two can you find the right solution.
The right choice for my nose,
what should I look at? OO!
If you’ve read this far,
you’re probably wondering:
"Then how can I tell which case my nose falls into?"
The answer is simple.
Choose a clinic that looks not only at the width of the nose,
but also at the overall proportions.

Just because it is nasal ala reduction surgery,
does not mean the clinic should focus only on the nostrils.
A truly skilled clinic is one that carefully looks at
which parts of your nose should be reduced
and which parts should be preserved.
They should also assess the overall details,
including the height of the bridge,
the angle of the tip,
and how thick the skin is.
They also need to consider
how much the nostrils have spread.
Only by comprehensively evaluating all of these factors
can they create a nose that fits the proportions.
Rather than simply saying,
"We only need to reduce the nostrils,"
it is more like saying,
"Since the bridge and tip are at this level,
adjusting only the nostrils will be enough."
Or,
"If we reduce only the nostrils,
the tip may look even more blunt,
so it would be better to consider the tip as well."
A clinic that explains things with specific reasons like this
is one you can trust.

During the consultation process,
please check whether they do more than simply explain the surgical method,
and whether they accurately analyze the current condition of your nose
and suggest the best direction accordingly.
Today, we talked about
cases where nasal ala reduction surgery is suitable
and cases where it is not,
as well as the criteria for choosing a clinic.
In the end, what matters is
looking at the nose as a whole.
You should reduce what needs to be reduced
and preserve what needs to be preserved
to create a nose with balanced proportions.

Director Park Si-hyun
of Objet Plastic Surgery
when consulting with people considering
nasal ala reduction surgery,
does not look only at the width of the nose.
He carefully analyzes the overall nasal structure,
including the bridge, tip, and skin thickness,
and provides a personalized diagnosis
that best suits each patient’s facial proportions.
If you are considering nasal ala reduction,
please be sure to consult with medical staff
who look at the overall proportions as well.
