Im a 21 year old male in SD & im considering getting an alarplasty to make my nasal profile smaller. How much does this procedure cost in San Diego?
Answer: Alarplasty vs. Rhinoplasty thank you for your question. It is important understand that the nose should be looked at comprehensively as a whole. Sometimes changing an aspect of one portion of the nose can inadvertently causing another portion of the nose to appear larger or smaller. While some procedures can be performed and under local anesthesia (such as an alarplasty) other procedures (such as grafts or tip work) may require a general anesthetic. It is important to obtain a complete nasal evaluation from a board certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Paceloa

Answer: How much is an alarplasty in San Diego? Hi and thanks for your question. It's difficult to quote an exact cost for a procedure without an examination and review of your photos. If alarplasty is the only procedure indicated, then it can usually be performed in the office under local anesthesia. Please see a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who is experienced in rhinoplasty; for instance, I have been doing this procedure since the mid 1980's. Best of luck!Richard Chaffoo, MD, FACS, FICSTriple Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Alar-plasty to narrow wide nostrils An alar plasty procedure is performed to narrow wide nostrils, not make the nasal profile any smaller. The procedure involves removing a wedge of skin at the base of the nostrils to narrow them. The alar plasty procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia
