I am interested in Alarplasty. I have extremely thick skin. But i am afraid of the scarring alarplasty can leave. Is there a difference in results from cutting the nose from the inside verses the outside for alarplasty. I just notice most doctors cut the nose from the outside. Is there a reason so many still cut the nose from the outside instead of the inside? I have oily skin as well and i have read that oily skin makes it even harder for the scar to heal.

Alarplasty or Ethnic rhinoplasty could be considered. When nostril sizes are reduced, face proportions will appear more accurately. The advantage of alarplasty is it can be done under local anesthesia, with no need for hospitalization and you can go on with your daily life.
