About Alarplasty Surgery
Alarplasty is a procedure in which a small amount of skin is taken from the wing of the nose. The outcome is frequently an appearance of the nose’s base being narrower. If the surgeon believes combining different incision procedures will produce the greatest results, it may be done. The intention is to keep the nose’s base looking natural. Technically, Alarpasty is a specific type of Rhinoplasty.

Alarplasty FAQ
At what age can I have Alarplasty?
One of the most often requested operations among both adults and young teenagers is alarplasty. It works best when your nose reaches its adult size. At Signature Clinic, patients must be 18 years old to have Alarplasty surgery.
Is Alarplasty permanent?
The results of a nostril reduction procedure are thought to be permanent, although being slightly vulnerable to the ageing process.
Can Alar reduction be reversed?
Alar reduction surgery is irreversible and permanent. Revisional surgery may be performed to correct nostril narrowing if you’re not happy with the results. You should be mindful of the potential for severe scarring and abnormal contouring, though.
How long does alarplasty last?
Alarplasty is typically thought of as a permanent treatment, therefore the alterations performed to the nostrils should be long-lasting. It’s crucial to remember that the ageing process goes on and that the tissues and skin of the face might change over time. The nostrils’ appearance may be somewhat impacted by these alterations.
