Alarplasty

What is nose wing reduction?

It is the adjustment of the nostrils to be narrower. It is usually done together with rhinoplasty to get a beautiful, natural-looking nose. The important structure of the nostrils is cartilage. When the cartilage and excess flesh are cut off, the nose will be smaller, the nostrils will be folded down, and the nose will be decorated to be beautiful. There are many techniques for rhinoplasty, depending on the patient’s problem and the doctor’s assessment LANNA

Why do you need to cut your nostrils?

By nature, Asians have wide nostrils. Some have wide noses, large noses, and too much flesh. A nose job alone will not solve this problem. Some patients only get a nose job but do not retouch the nostrils. After doing it, they feel that the shape of their nose is strange and does not fit their face. If they correct it by cutting the nostrils and adding a nose job, the entire nose will look smaller. The face will look more dimensional and prominent.

Types of Nose Wing Reduction In rhinoplasty, most Thais have two types of nostril reduction as follows

1. External Nose Wing Reduction

The doctor will cut the nostrils at the outer base to remove about 1-2 millimeters of flesh from the sides of the nose. Then, the wound is stitched and closed. This will help reduce the size of the nostrils on the sides to be narrower than before. This is suitable for people who have very wide nostrils on the sides.

2. External and Internal Nose Wing Reduction

This is a surgery to reduce the size of the nostrils and wings to be smaller. It is suitable for people who have wide and large nostrils, wide nostrils, and the shape of the nostrils is narrower. However, there may be a wound at the base of the nose on the sides.
