Incisions around the alar base for base reduction if performed correctly, usually leave scars that are almost imperceptible. Of course, skin quality and healing quality can affect the results.

Steven Wallach, MD answers: How bad are the scars from alar narrowing?
I need to narrow my nostrils. I worry about the scars being noticeable like there are "buggers" coming out of both nostrils. Am I being too concerned? How noticeable is this?

A: Don't place Rhinoplasty incision in alar rim crease

If your doctor places the incision in the crease of the alar rim then the chance of webbing is great. If the incision is slightly above the crease the scars are imperceptible. Check with your doctor to see where they like to place the scars.
