Can alar hypertrophy be reduced by surgery? The hypertrophy of the alar will be artificially enlarged.
Under normal circumstances, when the alar is wide, the nostrils will appear very large. If the nose is wide, even if the nose is not low, it will look very low and some will be dull. But as long as the alar is wide, you don't have to consider the alar narrowing. For example, when the nose is low and the alar is slightly wide, only rhinoplasty can achieve the natural effect of narrowing the alar. But people with wide alar need to have alar reduction surgery to make the whole nose smaller. Nasal alar reduction surgery is not common in plastic surgery. Under normal circumstances, the outermost nostril does not exceed the vertical line of the inner canthus, that is, the alar hypertrophy.

Therefore, consider the degree of alar hypertrophy first, and then consider alar reduction surgery, which should be customized according to different situations. For example, if the alar is not too wide, an auxiliary column can be inserted into the columella of the nose, and cartilage transplantation can be done at the tip of the nose, so that the tip of the nose will stand up, and the alar amplitude will be reduced without moving other parts. For example, if the alar is wide and the nostril is wide, you can consider removing the basal part of the alar and then reducing the alar, so the alar reduction operation still needs a specialist.
