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: Alar base reduction may not bring the nostrils down. You are based reduction is, simply put, nostril narrowing. Techniques for alarplasty are used in those people with a wide appearance to their nostrils and to the lower 1/3 of their nose on front view. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Answer Alar base reduction, if not performed precisely, can alter the appearance and structure of the nostrils. In some cases, it may create the impression that the nostrils are more sunken or widened if too much tissue is removed or if the closure technique doesn’t adequately support the structure. This happens because the alar base supports part of the shape and contour of the nostrils, and reducing it without proper balance can create a less natural appearance.

Answer: No Alar base reduction can serve two potential purposes. It can reduce alar flare and it can narrow alar base width (narrowing the nasal sill). Alar rim retraction is addressed with tip cartilage repositioning, alar rim grafting, and in severe cases, alar rim composite grafting (skin and cartilage composite from the ear).

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.
