What is Alar Base Reduction?
In such cases, alar base reduction can reduce the width of the alar, engendering an ideal nose. It is a relatively simple procedure, leaving an incision line only along the end of the nasal alar and cheek border. Thus, surgical scars are barely visible and the nasal alar size can be effectively reduced.
