Answer: Alarplasty may be performed with local anesthetic. If someone has an isolated problem with wide flaring nostrils, alarplasty may be performed with local anesthesia in an office setting. Sutures are typically removed one week after surgery and there is little inconvenience or downtime. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Nostril reduction in local anesthesia Providing that nostril reduction with wedge excision is the only procedure that you need, it can be done in local anesthesia. It is always best to discuss this issue with your surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Nostril Reduction Absolutely YES, local is the anesthetic of choice for isolated nostril reduction. Markings for the procedure should precede administration of anesthetic to assure accuracy and symmetry prior to swelling and irregularity caused by the injections.
