CONTACT NOW Answer: Can my nostrils be narrowed without rhinoplasty? Nostrils can be narrowed in conjunction with a full rhinoplasty surgery or with a standalone in-office procedure known as an alar base reduction. The alar base reduction on its own offers a significant cost savings, as it generally takes just an hour to perform in-office and can be done using only a local freezing agent. The drawback, of course, is that only the nostrils can be addressed. During the procedure a small incision is placed at the base of each nostril and a wedge of tissue is excised. The natural continuity of the nasal passageway is still preserved, and the nose appears smaller and more narrow. The ideal candidate for an alar base reduction is a patient whose sole concern is the width of the nostril opening and who is seeing exaggerated nasal flaring. It’s a great idea to attend a consultation with a specialist who will be able to determine if this procedure is right for you, as well as show you computer imaging that lets you see what these changes might look like.

Answer: Alar Reduction With or Without Rhinoplasty
Alar base reduction can be done with or without rhinoplasty. However, in most cases, it is better if it is performed to compliment a rhinoplasty procedure especially in ethnic patients who have more alar flaring. This helps to re-shape the nasal base and put the nose in better proportion with the tip, the dorsum, and the patient’s face.

Answer: Nostril Narrowing (Alar Base Reduction) Can Be Performed With or Without a Rhinoplasty Nostril reduction surgery (called Alarplasty / Alar Base Reduction) is a procedure that can narrow the width of the nostril base, decrease the amount of nostril flaring, or decrease the size of the nostrils. To accomplish this, the surgeon makes an incision in the crease where the nostril wall meets the cheek. A wedge shaped piece of nostril wall is removed, and when the incision is sewn close, the nostril narrowing is acheived. It is possible to perform this procedure alone or as part of a rhinoplasty. It can be performed alone, but keep in mind that in order for the nose to appear natural, it must adhere to certain proportions and also be in balance with the other facial features.
