Alar reduction, also called nostril reduction surgery, is performed to correct wide nostrils or flared nasal bases, making the nose appear more refined and proportionate. By carefully excising a portion of the alar tissue and reshaping the nostrils, this surgery enhances facial harmony and gives the nose a more natural and balanced appearance. It is often done in conjunction with rhinoplasty or tip plasty for comprehensive results.

Ideal Candidates: Ideal candidates include individuals with wide or flared nostrils, noses that appear broad or flat, or those who desire a more delicate and balanced nose shape. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the surgical outcome.
