If an alar base reduction result looks unnatural after Rhinoplasty, is it possible at all to reverse it?
Answer: Reversing an alar base reduction The answer is yes, but I would recommend waiting at least a year to see if you really want this done. The scarring may ease up and you may not need anything at all. However, if you really want it done, the incisions can be re-opened and skin grafts can be placed to open up the nostrils. Good luck!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Results of alar base reduction is permanent An alar reduction or alar plasty will narrow the base of the nose but will not thin the actual alar rim itself. This is the fleshy skin part of the nostril that cannot be reduced due to risk of scarring. The width of the actual nostrils can be reduced by removing a small portion of skin of the nostrils attached to the floor of the nose.

Answer: Reversing Alar Base Reduction Not feasible. The scars are not acceptable and the result is not acceptable. So in short, no it is not reversible. What can be done is if the nose, bony part is too wide, that can be narrowed to give the appearance and provide a better proportion.

Answer: Not really! There are ways to revise the scar, but not to increase the width. There is a way to make it appear larger if the nose is over projected.
