Alar Base Reduction Rhinoplasty

The alar base is the base of the nose where the nostrils reside. Many people are displeased with the width of the alar base and their nostril size. An alar base reduction surgery can minimize the width of the base of the nose and resize or reshape the nostrils without changing the rest of the nose shape. The effect is a nose that is more balanced in appearance, creating more harmony in the facial features.

If your only complaint with your nose shape is the wide base or large nostrils, alar base reduction surgery may be right for you. It can also be included with a complete rhinoplasty that addresses other features of the nose, including the nasal tip or bridge.
