Alarplasty (Refine Nostril Shape And Width)

· Those in Seoul looking for a precise, localized nose reshaping procedure.
· Those with wide or flared nostrils.
· Those with asymmetrical nostrils.
· Those who want to make their nose appear slimmer or more defined.
· Those who wish to reduce the width of the nostril base for a softer and more refined appearance.

Alarplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that focuses on improving the appearance of the nostrils by reducing their width and refining their shape. The procedure targets the alar base, which is the area where the nostrils meet the cheeks. By removing a small portion of tissue or adjusting the nostril edges, the procedure helps to create a more proportionate and balanced nasal contour. It is often chosen by those who feel the nostrils appear too wide or flared compared to the rest of the facial features.

Alarplasty enhances the natural definition of the nose without altering its height or tip structure. The results are usually subtle yet effective, producing a softer and more refined appearance that complements other facial features. In addition to aesthetic improvement, Alarplasty offers several benefits. It can make the nose appear slimmer, reduce excessive nostril flare while smiling, and create a neater nasal outline in both frontal and side views.

Alarplasty begins with a consultation by the doctor at our affiliated clinic to discuss the desired nasal shape, facial proportions, and the most suitable surgical technique. Once the treatment plan is finalized, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort and relaxation throughout the process.

The procedure takes about 30 minutes. The doctor makes a small incision along the alar base, which is the crease where the nostril meets the cheek. Depending on the technique selected, a precise amount of tissue may be removed or the nostril bases may be gently repositioned using sutures to bring them closer together. After achieving the ideal contour, the incisions are closed with fine sutures to minimize scarring. The procedure is performed as an outpatient procedure, and patients are discharged on the same day.

Sutures are usually removed after 7 to 10 days, followed by 2 short follow-up visits to monitor healing progress. Most patients can resume light daily activities within 3 days, as swelling and mild bruising gradually subside. The recovery period is relatively short, with final results becoming more noticeable over several weeks.
