Alar Reduction Surgery Nostril Reduction Alar Base Reduction

Alar reduction surgery, also known as nostril reduction, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the base of the nose to make the nostrils appear smaller or narrower. It's often done to create a more balanced and proportionate look for the nose and face. This surgery can help if you feel your nostrils are too wide when you smile or at rest.
