alar proportion design
Surgery that only reduces alar width can create an unnatural look in the proportions
of the columella or nostrils.
We design ideal alar proportions
that suit your face shape.
Know-how that reduces
the burden of scarring
Considering your skin characteristics and alar shape,
we carefully plan the incision position and suturing method.
We consider every detail to reduce the burden of scarring and create a natural
alar line.
A natural line
from any angle
Considering various nose lines such as straight, slightly scooped and scooped,
together with facial proportions, we achieve natural alar reduction results
from both the front and the side.
Accurate analysis of
the cause of wide alae
By precisely diagnosing the shape and proportions of the nose,
we identify why the alae look wide
and find the most ideal alar line for you.
Check Point 01
1:1 Customized Alar Reduction Analysis
Rather than checking only alar width,
we design by calculating the proportions of the entire face
Check Point 02
Alar Surgery That Also Corrects the Nostrils
If only the alae are reduced, the nostrils can become overly exposed,
giving an unnatural impression.
Check Point 03
Alar Reduction by Type
Wide alae are reduced with a method suited to each type depending on the cause,
for a clear, refined nose line
then sutured naturally along the alar line to reduce alar width
reducing flared alae and a wide columella at the same time

Alar Reduction FAQ
-
If your nostrils are small, reducing them excessively can look cramped or affect breathing, so careful diagnosis is needed.
We design considering not only alar width but also nostril shape, nasal tip volume and facial proportions. -
Since alar reduction is surgery that reduces tissue, it is difficult to fully return to the pre-surgery state.
Therefore, it is important to avoid excessive reduction from the start and use a conservative design that considers facial proportions and nostril shape.
-
The degree of scarring after alar reduction can vary depending on the incision location, skin characteristics and recovery care.
We usually plan to make it less noticeable by using the alar border or natural crease lines, and scar care during recovery is important. -
Everyday contact alone will not easily widen the nostrils again. However, early in recovery,
irritation to the wound can cause scarring, separation or inflammation, so it is best to avoid rubbing or picking your nose.
