I am considering an alarplasty but I'm scared about the scars. How big are the scars? Will they be red, and do they stay forever? Is it possible to view a picture somewhere? I have searched everywhere. Thanks a lot!

Answer: Does alarplasty leave scars for life? Yes, the scars will always be there. The best place to "see" what they look like is to go to the surgeon near you and see his results. If I show you great results - that's nice but not an indication of how your doctor would handle such a procedure. Also, skin type is important. Make sure you feel comfortable with the decision.

Answer: Alar Base Reduction Scars Yes, this procedure for narrowing of the lower nose and nostrils will leave permanent scars BUT, if performed with expertise and the patient heals as expected, these scar lines are not or barely noticable. If a patient requires narrowing of the base, the advantage of a balanced improvement certainly outweighs the disadvantage of the scars.
