Alar Base Reduction and Weir Technique Difference?

 Dr. Weir has one type of narrowing named after him. Their are many other variations and you can discuss these with your surgeon as to which is best for you.

Alar base reduction usually involves removal of some skin to bring the nostrils closer together and/or make them smaller. The Weir technique mainly uses a stitch only to bring the nostrils closer together. Check with your plastic surgeon about which is right for you, and look at some before and after photos before having any procedures done. Good luck!
