What Methods Are There for Cokoline Clinic’s Alar Reduction!?

Hello, this is Cokoline Clinic  Today, we’d like to talk about "alar reduction" for those who are concerned because their nose feels large and flared!

Alar reduction can be done together with nose surgery, and it can also be done on its own!

Then let’s take a look at how alar reduction is performed.

Alar reduction is broadly divided into a method that reduces the nose from the inside and a method that reduces it from the outside.

I think most of you are familiar with the surgical method that reduces it from the outside. As a method that clearly reduces wide nostrils, outer alar reduction, as you may know it, can help improve the overall shape.

However, if the nostrils are reduced indiscriminately, the nose may look pinched, and the tip of the nose may appear relatively larger.

That is why the key is to reduce only as much as is right for you!

In addition to the method that reduces the nostrils from the outside, there is also an alar reduction method that reduces them from the inside.

The surgical method that reduces from the inside may be unfamiliar to you! If the surgery that reduces from the inside is performed on its own, the effect is not very noticeable, so it is usually done together with nose surgery.

It can help with the feeling that the nose spreads when smiling, or slightly reduce the width of the nostrils.

If we compare the pros and cons, outer alar reduction has a more definite effect, but the incision site may be noticeable for a while after surgery,

whereas inner alar reduction cannot be done on its own and the effect is not definitive, but because it is reduced from the inside, the incision site is not visible.

Then, when alar reduction is performed from the outside, how visible is the scar, and for how long will it be visible?

Because the incision area is exposed on the outside, at first, after the stitches are removed, the sutured area may look red, but as time passes, the redness gradually fades, and after 3 to 6 months it becomes hard to notice. For women, wearing makeup will make it less noticeable, of course ^^? Also, because the incision is along the boundary of the nostril, it is not very noticeable!

Whether alar reduction is necessary for you, or not, is best confirmed through a consultation ^^
