It’s perfectly understandable to have a love-hate relationship with your flared nose. But whenever someone makes a snide comment or an intentional dig, you can’t help but wonder what it’s like to have a beautiful contoured nose. But not to worry, when there’s a will, there’s always a way!
So what’s an Alarplasty? An Alarplasty is a surgical cosmetic procedure that involves the removal of a small wedge-shaped piece of nasal soft tissue from the wing of the nose. Different incision techniques can be used to preserve a natural nose shape.
Incision techniques used for alarplasty include incision techniques:
- Wedge excisions removing wedges of alar, or the fleshy, curved lower part of the nose
- Sill technique is often combined with the wedge technique to reduce alar flare and narrow nostrils
- Weir excision technique customizes the excision to align with the nostril curve and create contours
Recovery time for an Alarplasty is relatively quick compared, your nose will be red and swollen initially, but should recede in 1 to 2 weeks. If you’re still unsure, feel free to call Glojas for advice and suggestions!
