Scars from alar base reduction

William Portuese, MD answers: What is the extent of alar base reduction scars?

I have a large nose tip and a wide nasal base. I am thinking of undergoing alar base reduction, and I want to know about the scar that I will have on both sides of my nose after the procedure. To what extent will the scar be seen?

The scars on the alar base reduction are present on the inside of the sill and nostril and floor of the nose. They are indiscernible and imperceptible when an alar base reduction is performed properly.
