Can Anybody Recommend Me a Doctor Who Perform Alar Base Reduction?

When it comes to alar base reduction, I can’t stress enough how important it is to get it right the first time! If done poorly, it is difficult to improve with a later revision. When done well, the scar is nearly imperceptible. Often it is not the only procedure needed to improve a nose, even though it may be your main complaint. Whenever you affect one part of the nose, it changes the relationship and proportion of the other units of the nose. The entire nose needs to be evaluated, including your breathing. I would definitely recommend consulting with a board certified Plastic Surgeon or Facial Plastic Surgeon who has experience with rhinoplasty and alar base reductions. If you are in the Los Angeles area, I would be happy to see you.

 

Most experienced rhinoplasty surgeons are also experienced in alar base reduction.  It is a pretty common procedure.  Go ona few consults with different plastic surgeons and you should be able to find a surgeon with whom you are comfortable.

Your entire nose needs be evaluated by a rhinoplastic surgeon well versed in your type of nose which I assume is ethnic in nature. Alar base reduction is misnomer since it is nasal base that usually needs to be reduced and most often is not. Alar reduction is what is usually performed and basically reduces the flaring of alae and does not address the width of nasal base.  Alar and nasal base need to be reduced at same time. Alar Repositioning Technique will address both without scar formation. 

Any skilled rhinoplastic surgeon should be able to do alar base surgery well. It is not a difficult procedure.
