Alar Reduction surgery performed by Dr. Huan is a technique used to narrow the width of the nasal alae, creating balance with the overall facial structure. Through this method, the doctor removes excess soft tissue from the alae while adjusting the base of the alae to be neat and natural, minimizing aesthetic traces.
Advantages of the Alar Reduction method
Specialized Alar Reduction results in a natural and attractive shape.
The procedure is quick, taking only 30 minutes.
Minimal downtime is required.
Sutures are skillfully handled, hiding scars delicately within the nasal grooves.
Who should apply the Alar Reduction method?
Individuals with wide, flared nasal alae that cause the nose to spread when smiling, making the face look less refined.
Clients wishing to overcome the drawback of a wide nasal base to possess a more harmonious, feminine beauty.
Clients undergoing rhinoplasty who want to combine it with Alar Reduction to achieve perfect facial proportions.
Specialized Alar Reduction techniques
Depending on each client’s condition, the doctor will choose the appropriate processing method, such as nasal base reduction, alar excision, or thinning the alae.
Specialized Nasal Base Reduction: Applied when the nasal base—the distance from the inner part of the alar base to the nasal septum—is wide; especially when the distance between the two alae is greater than the distance between the two inner eye corners. The doctor will adjust to narrow the wide alar base, and sutures are performed skillfully to hide scars high on the inner side of the alae, leaving no aesthetic traces.
Refined Alar Excision: In cases where the alae are swollen, thick, or flared compared to the alar base, the doctor will apply refined alar excision techniques to remove excess tissue precisely. The thin scar line is placed to coincide with the natural nasolabial fold or hidden discreetly in less visible positions, helping to minimize aesthetic traces after recovery.
