Can alarplasty be done after jaw surgery for nose widening/flared nostrils?

Question

Because double jaw surgery often causes nose widening and more flared nostrils, can an alarplasty be done sometime after surgery to help with this? Is it possible and safe to do alarplasty even if you had an alar base cinch suture done during surgery?

Tanveer Janjua, MD · Answer

Yes, alarplasty will help once you have healed from the jaw surgery. Even if you had a cinch suture, it is safe to do alarplasty. 
Alarplasty:
Alarplasty is a very fine and quick procedure that can narrow the nostrils and reduce the flare to soften the appearance. It has other names as well like ‘Weir Excisions’ or ‘Nostril Reduction’. However, it is important to note that asymmetry of nostrils is common and cannot be corrected with alarplasty. Visit the alarplasty website to learn all about it.
