Answer: Is it possible to define the supra-alar crease under local anesthesia? Hello,Thanks for your question. Yes, it is possible to define the supra-alar crease under local anesthesia. It can be done using a surgical needle to cut the skin using a single point of access. It will take several months for the crease to appear as the skin will swell and bruise. Once the swelling and bruising go away the crease shows itself.Good luck,Dr. Shah

Answer: Questions on the definition of the supra-alar nasal crease Then definition of the upper border of the nostril or the 'supra-alar' crease can be affected by a number of techniques. Without reviewing your photos and doing a proper nasal exam, it is difficult to advise on the best option to provide the most natural definition for your nose. The definition of the crease can be influenced by the thickness of the nasal skin, the position, shape and characteristics of the nostril cartilage and a variety of other factors. A properly planned and executed rhinoplasty can definitely enhance the alar crease. Be sure you discus your goals and concerns with an experienced and board certified surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetic surgery.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Defining a supra-alar crease is typically something that will not be treated with injections in a non-surgical rhinoplasty. However, many issues can be addressed in a rhinoplasty done without anesthesia other than local. Pictures and a consultation would be required to better define what needs to be done. Best wishes.
