Non-Scar Alar Reduction to Improve a Bulbous Nose

Hello. This is Oji Ko Hospital & Plus, thinking only about your beautiful and healthy nose.

This time, we have prepared information about non-scar alar reduction, which improves the shape of a bulbous nose.

These days, regardless of age or gender, people are making various efforts to improve their appearance into a more favorable impression. However, while certain areas such as dieting, skin, and face line can be improved through procedures, the nose has limitations despite these efforts, so many people are becoming increasingly interested in rhinoplasty.

In particular, people with a bulbous nose shape or a broad nose shape are searching for non-scar alar reduction to achieve a more refined image.

What is non-scar alar reduction? It is a surgery performed by taking advantage of the benefits of both non-incisional alar reduction and incisional alar reduction, and it corrects the alar size through a minimal incision in the skin below the nose.

Alar reduction surgery methods are broadly divided into three types depending on the thickness of the skin tissue.

At N Plus, surgery is performed using non-scar alar reduction, non-incisional alar reduction, and incisional alar reduction.

First, N Plus non-scar alar reduction corrects the overall size of the alar through a minimal incision in the skin below the nose when the alar skin tissue is not thick.

Second is non-incisional alar reduction. When the alar skin tissue is thin and only the alar area is somewhat wide, both nostrils are simply tied together to correct it. However, the surgical effect is good only when the degree of widening is very slight.

Lastly, there is incisional alar reduction. This refers to cases where the alar skin tissue is significantly thick. In this case, the overall size of the alar is corrected through an external incision. As such, when performing alar reduction surgery, the advantages and disadvantages differ clearly depending on the surgical method, so it is important to perform the surgery using an efficient method tailored to each individual. If necessary, satisfaction may be even higher when it is performed together with dorsal augmentation.

At N Plus, to accurately check the condition of the nose, endoscopic imaging, 3D-CT imaging, and multi-angle photography are required during consultation. Before surgery, we carefully analyze issues inside the nose that are not visible externally and the nasal lines that need improvement, and provide highly specialized consultations.

Also, non-scar alar reduction may seem like a relatively simple surgery, but it is important to carefully examine the surgeon’s skill as well. The nose is an important organ of the body responsible for smell and breathing, so during surgery, internal function must not be compromised. Inflammation or a bent cartilage can additionally lead to functional problems, so it is important to undergo surgery at a place with experienced medical staff and extensive experience to achieve satisfying results.

Lastly, when choosing non-scar alar reduction, it is necessary to undergo the procedure at a place that provides thorough aftercare. At N Plus, not only do we provide a free after-service system guaranteed for one year after surgery, but we also implement a surgical responsibility guarantee system prepared for all possible situations such as post-surgery pain, inflammation, and dissatisfaction with the appearance. Customers who have an N Plus membership card can receive aftercare benefits at any time.
