ALAR BASE REDUCTION A.K.A “NOSTRIL NARROWING” with the amazing 👃😍
Very often, patients come in asking about reducing the width of their nose, but they’re not necessarily ready for a drastic change or a more invasive procedure. In the right patient, Alar Base Reduction may respond to such a request, as it offers a subtle but beautiful refinement of the nose’s proportions relative to the facial features.
For this lovely patient, we performed a combination of Nasal Sill and Alar Flare Reduction.
➡️ Nasal Sill Reduction addresses the width of the nostril floor, making the openings appear narrower from the front view.
➡️ Alar Flare Reduction reduces the outward sweep of the nasal walls where the nose meets the cheek, narrowing the overall base.
The change is exactly what she was looking for. It’s subtle enough to look completely natural, yet significant enough to create a beautiful, harmonious shift in her facial balance.
