Alar Base Augmentation (Define Your Profile With Precision)

· Those in Tokyo interested in reshaping their nose appearance.
· Those who want to have a more defined, 3D-look.
· Those who want to fix deep nasolabial folds.
· Those who wish to lift a flat mid-face.
· Those who wish to have long-lasting facial balance.

Alar Base Augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the base of the nose by inserting a small prosthesis inside the mouth, right beneath the nostrils. This treatment is ideal for individuals with deep nasolabial folds caused by a naturally sunken nasal base. Rather than simply filling lines with hyaluronic acid, this procedure adds internal volume and support, creating a more defined and youthful appearance.

This technique not only softens deep folds but also helps correct a flat or unbalanced mid-face and the appearance of a protruding mouth (known as “gobo mouth”). With hidden incisions and results that last longer than fillers, Alar Base Augmentation offers a subtle yet powerful enhancement to facial harmony.

Alar Base Augmentation involves the insertion of a small silicone prosthesis to elevate the sunken base of the nose from within. The procedure begins with a small incision made inside the mouth, near the base of the nostrils, making the scar completely invisible externally. Through this access point, the doctor carefully creates a pocket and inserts a custom-shaped alar base implant. This implant is positioned beneath the nasal base to provide structural lift and restore volume to the mid-face area. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes and may involve sutures removal after 1 week.

Q1: Which is better, Alar Base Augmentation or Rhinoplasty?
A1: Alar Base Augmentation is ideal for improving deep nasolabial folds and a flat facial profile caused by depression at the base of the nose; whereas Rhinoplasty is better for reshaping the nose itself. In some cases, they can be combined for enhanced results.

Q2: Does it look natural?
A2: Yes, the prosthesis is inserted internally with no visible scars, and it is designed to blend naturally with your facial structure for a subtle enhancement.

Q3: How painful is it?
A3: Alar Base Augmentation is performed under local, relax, or intravenous anesthesia, so there will only be minimal pain during the procedure.

Q4: Is Alar Base Augmentation permanent?
A4: Yes, the effects of Alar Base Augmentation are long-lasting compared to fillers like hyaluronic acid. However, like any implant, the prosthesis may need adjustment or replacement over time in rare cases.

Q5: How long is the recovery?
A5: Most swelling and internal bruising subside within 7 to 10 days. However, it depends on the individual natural healing process.
