Alar reduction surgery,

What customized surgical methods are used for different cases?🌸

"If Cleopatra’s nose had been just 1 cm lower,

the course of world history would have changed"

This was said by Pascal,

a French mathematician and philosopher.

In this way, the nose is the center of the face and

a very important element that determines

a person’s impression.

However, these days, a high bridge alone

does not necessarily make a beautiful nose.

That’s because, in determining a beautiful nose,

the nostrils play a role just as important

as the bridge.

If, when viewed from the front, the width of both nostrils is wider than the space between the eyes,

known as the glabella, you may want to consider alar reduction surgery.

In particular, for people of East Asian descent, a large and spread-out nose shape

is often inherited, so alar reduction surgery can significantly improve the overall impression.

In this way, the nostrils are a small area that has a major impact on the overall facial image,

and the number of people seeking alar reduction surgery

is steadily increasing.

Today, we’ll explain in which cases this type of alar reduction is likely to be effective,

and also the details of Thank You’s own surgical methods,

which vary depending on the case.

Customized surgical methods based on nostril shape

can completely transform the balance of the entire face,

so we recommend taking a careful look.

Alar reduction surgery: When is it needed?

Even while reading this article right now,

there may be people who want to change the shape of their nostrils but

are not sure which method or shape would be appropriate.

Of course, it is best to decide after consulting with an experienced specialist in detail,

but to summarize simply:

☑️ If the nostrils are wide

☑️ If the nostrils are large

☑️ Or if both apply

we recommend alar reduction surgery.

However, as explained earlier,

the surgical method differs depending on the shape of the nose,

so it is helpful to keep this in mind in advance.

First, if the lower part of the nostrils is wide,

non-incisional alar reduction can effectively bring in the spread-out nostrils.

After making a small opening under the nostrils,

the two nostrils are tied together with sutures,

which can reduce the width of the nose without visible scarring.

Next, if the nostrils are wide because of large nostrils,

we recommend scarless incision-based alar reduction surgery.

Although an incision is made, it is limited to the inside of the nostrils,

so the burden of incision and scarring is reduced

while the shape and size of the nostrils can be adjusted naturally.

Third, if both the width of the nostrils and the size of the nostrils are a concern,

we recommend scarless dual alar reduction surgery.

This method corrects the shape of the nostrils through minimal incision

while also reducing the nostrils through non-incisional thread lifting.

Because it is performed while taking facial expressions into account,

it can reduce the width of the nostrils more naturally

and create a more harmonious nose shape.

There are also cases where the nostrils spread out and, at the same time,

the alar wings sag downward,

making the nose look blunt and broad.

In such cases, we recommend alar elevation.

Alar elevation is a method that minimally incises under the nostrils

to correct the position of the alar wings,

balancing the sagging alar wings

and creating more harmonious nostrils.

As shown above, there are various methods

for improving the shape of the nostrils.

At Thank You Plastic Surgery,

we accurately identify the cause of the nostrils appearing spread out

and perform customized alar reduction surgery.

This helps reduce the burden of unnecessary surgical steps

while also contributing to a more natural three-dimensional look to the face.

Based on our extensive experience with a wide range of rhinoplasty cases,

we design from the planning stage with consideration not only for the nose,

but for the balance of the entire face,

which helps create satisfying results.

Our dedicated medical team, with extensive clinical experience,

is responsible for the entire process from consultation through surgery,

and we also operate a safety system for emergency situations

as well as a systematic post-operative care system.
