What Is Alarplasty?
Alarplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and reduce the size of the nostrils by removing excess skin and soft tissue at the base of the nose. It specifically targets the alar region (nose wings) to improve nostril width, symmetry, and overall nasal proportion. The procedure enhances facial balance by creating a more refined nose shape without altering the nasal bridge. It is often chosen by individuals with wide, thick, or uneven nostrils and can also be combined with rhinoplasty for more comprehensive nasal refinement. The result is a more proportionate, harmonious, and natural-looking nose that complements facial structure.
How It Works
Alarplasty is performed by precisely modifying the soft tissue and cartilage around the nostril base. The doctor at our affiliated clinic begins by marking the desired nostril shape based on facial proportions and symmetry analysis. Local anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort during the procedure. Small incisions are then made at the base of the nostrils or along natural creases to minimize visible scarring. Excess tissue is carefully removed, and in some cases, cartilage may be reshaped or adjusted to refine the nostril contour. Advanced surgical instruments are used to ensure precision and symmetry. The tissue is then repositioned and sutured using fine, absorbable or removable sutures. The nasal structure is supported during healing, allowing the nostrils to settle into a more balanced and refined shape over time.

FAQ
Q1: Is Alarplasty better than rhinoplasty?
A1: They treat different concerns. Alarplasty focuses on narrowing and reshaping the nostrils, while rhinoplasty improves the nasal bridge and overall nose structure. They are often combined for full nose refinement.
Q2: How long do Alarplasty results last?
A2: Alarplasty results are generally permanent because excess nostril tissue is surgically removed and reshaped.
Q3: Can I pick my nose after Alarplasty?
A3: No, patients should avoid picking or touching the nose for at least 2 to 4 weeks after surgery to prevent infection, wound disruption, and poor healing.
Q4: Does Alarplasty leave scars?
A4: Scarring is usually minimal because incisions are placed along natural nose creases. With proper healing and care, scars typically fade and become barely visible over time.
Q5: Can I smile normally after Alarplasty?
A5: Avoid excessive smiling or wide facial expressions for about 1 to 2 weeks after Alarplasty, as it may place tension on the sutures and slow healing.
