Rhinoplasty
Alar reduction & alar lifting
A short procedure of about 15 minutes that narrows wide alae or lifts drooping ones, with the incision placed internally or externally depending on alar thickness and position. It is one of the most published case groups on MOOi's review board.
Who it suits
- Wide alae or flaring when smiling
- Nostrils that look large relative to the face
- Want a nose refinement without major surgery
Technique highlights
- Internal-incision, incisional and non-incisional options
- About 15 minutes under local anaesthesia or sedation
Surgical steps
- Measure the alar and nostril proportion that suits the face
- Incise along the planned line and reduce the width
- Close inside the alar crease to hide the scar
Recovery & aftercare
- One follow-up and stitch removal at seven days
- Immediate return to daily life
Risks & things to consider
- Results depend on individual anatomy and after-care.
- Every operation carries risks and possible complications; consult a specialist first.
- Surgery time and recovery figures come from MOOi's official pages and may change after the doctor's assessment.
