In general, 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 suitable for people and surgical methods;

1. If the alar is wide and the nostril is wide, partial resection of 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.

2. If the alar margin is wide, the alar free margin can be partially removed, and the incision can be stitched on the inner surface of the alar after trimming.

3. If the nostril is not big, the alar is too thick or the upper part of alar groove is too full, you can make a skin incision along the front edge of the lateral foot of alar cartilage, peel off the skin and the alar cartilage below, remove the swollen soft tissue on the cartilage surface, and then appropriately remove the upper and outer parts of alar cartilage; Then cut off a diamond-shaped vestibular skin and nasal mucosa in the nostril, and cut off excess adipose tissue. Finally, the incision on the edge of the nostril is stitched with the incision on the inner side of the base of the alar. The length of scar visible after operation is generally less than 1CM.
