Flat tip and wide nostrils can give flabby impression.


Alar surgery refers to completing the sleek nasal tip shape

by reducing the wide spread alar and nostrils with heart-shape

incision and suitable surgical method based on the cause.


◆ Cases that Alar Surgery is Needed


01. In case of low and spread nasal tip

02. In case of wide and round nostrils

03. When the nasal tip makes the nose look wide and flabby

​

​

​

​◆ Surgical Methods According To Different Types


​

The amount of nasal base incision and reduction will be designed depending on the level of wideness. Heart-shape incision will be given on the nasal base to make the nasal base round shape. The incision will be given to avoid being seen from outside as much as possible. To make it more effective, penetration with thread for the reduction can be applied if necessary.
