Alar Base Reduction Techniques?

January 29, 2013
Asked By:meow1978 in Los Angelos

I have read several answers to posts regarding alar base reduction and would like to know if the cinching suture technique can obtain results of reducing the width of the base of the nose/nostrils by 2mm on each side (3-4mm narrowing total) , or if a weir incision technique will only do this, or perhaps a combination of the two together?
