Does Alar base reduction bring in the nostrils down besides the width and does excessive nasal sill cause the alar wing to expand wider and cause the nostril hole to be stretched out more?

Answer: Allar excision-rotation Depending of the presented problem, there are at least three different types of allar and nose base reduction. In general it creates smaller nostril, oblique or vertically oriented and, if needed, may involve adequate reduction of nostril sill. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in rhinoplasty is recommended. Good luck.

Answer: Nostril exposure and shape Hello and thank you for your question. Nostril exposure is very complex. Sometimes alar base reduction alone can actually worsen alar notching and alar retraction. This should usually be done in coordination with tensioning the tip and placement of extended alar contour grafts to avoid problems. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
