When Should You Consider Alar Base Reduction?

Surgery 이나연 Posting update : 2026.06.29

 

 

Have you noticed that your nose appears wider when you smile? It may not be noticeable in everyday life, but when you smile—or in photos—the nostrils can appear more prominent.

 

 

Since the nose is the focal point of the face, even a slight increase in the width of the nostrils can affect overall facial harmony.

 

 

Alar base reduction is a procedure that narrows the width of the nostrils, creating a more refined and balanced appearance. During surgery, the width of the nostrils is carefully adjusted while preserving your natural facial proportions to ensure a natural-looking result.

 

 

 

 

 

Although the change may seem subtle, it can significantly enhance facial balance and refinement. When appropriate, alar base reduction can also be combined with tip refinement or rhinoplasty for even more harmonious results.

 

 

If you're concerned about the width of your nostrils or how they appear when you smile, we invite you to schedule a consultation. With over 25 years of experience in rhinoplasty, the surgeons at SHE'S Plastic Surgery will recommend the most suitable treatment based on your facial features and aesthetic goals.
