We know that the outermost nostril does not exceed the vertical line of the inner canthus, otherwise the alar will be enlarged. 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 appear very low. When the nose is lower and the alar is slightly wider, only rhinoplasty can achieve the natural effect of narrowing the alar. But a person with a wide nose needs a narrow nose to make the whole nose look harmonious. Nasal alar reduction surgery is generally suitable for those with thick alar, excessive alar expansion and oversized nostrils.

At present, there are basically two surgical methods to reduce the nose. One is that when the alar is not too wide, an auxiliary column can be inserted into the columella 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 will shrink without other operations. Therefore, whether it is necessary to reduce the alar should be evaluated and judged after the nose tip standing operation.

The other is alar resection, which is mainly suitable for orientals or blacks. It is a method to reduce the alar when the root of the nose is too wide or the nostrils are too large. When the alar is wide, it is mostly because the alar skin is redundant. We need to cut off the skin under the alar and sew up the incision to narrow the alar, which will make the nostrils look very long. The incision is left at the junction of nose and cheek, and the scar is not obvious. Alternatively, if the alar is large and the nostril is large, partial resection of the alar base and nostril reduction can be performed cautiously. The incision is located at the base of alar and the lower part of alar sulcus. Under local anesthesia, part of the full-thickness tissue of the alar base was properly removed, and then the nostril was rotated inward to narrow and sutured intermittently in layers.

The length of scar visible after operation is generally less than 1CM. If the alar margin is wide, the alar free margin can be partially removed, and the incision can be stitched to the inner surface of the alar after trimming. If the nostril is not big, the alar is too thick or the upper part of alar groove is too plump, you can make a skin incision along the front edge of the lateral foot of alar cartilage, secretly peel off the skin and alar cartilage below, cut off the swollen soft tissue on the cartilage surface, and then cut off the upper and lateral parts of alar cartilage appropriately; Then, in the nostril, cut off a rhombic vestibular skin and nasal mucosa on the inner side of the base of the alar, and cut off excess adipose tissue. Finally, the incision on the edge of the nostril is sutured with the incision on the inner side of the base of the alar.

In fact, narrowing the nose is very simple, of course, the effect is also very good, which will improve your original imperfect face shape to the fullest. What can be better than having a beautiful face?

I hope it helps you, brother!
