While an alar base reduction can be done under striaght local, it is probably more comfortable for you to have it under sedation as well.

An uncomplicated alar base reduction can be performed under local/nerve blocks in the office and the charge in the Philadelphia area will run around $2,000.00.

Alar base reduction as an isolated procedure may or may not be appropriate. I always want to look at the big picture to maintain proper balance in the final result after any type of rhinoplasty surgery. Alar base alterations can be done under local anesthesia and would cost $2000-$3000.

Cost can vary from city to city and between surgeons. It also depends on whether you have the surgery done under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. If you have it under local, you will avoid hospital and anesthesia fees.
