Nostril reduction
Adjusting the width of the alar (nostril) will greatly improve the harmony between your nose and face. A wide nostril makes the overall nose look flat and creates an unsophisticated image. This problem can be easily solved with alar reduction surgery. In cases where the nostrils are considerably visible from the front view, the nostril can be covered with your own nose or ear cartilage. In order to avoid bad scarring, it is essential to consult with our experienced surgeon with excellent suturing techniques.
