Alarplasty in Gangnam Seoul, Korea
Alarplasty (alar reduction or nostril reduction) at Wooa Plastic Surgery & Dermatology narrows wide or flared nostrils to bring the base of the nose into harmony with the rest of the face. By removing a small amount of tissue from the alar base or the inside of the nostril, the width of the nose is reduced with a scar that sits in the natural crease and becomes difficult to see.
What are the benefits of alarplasty?
A narrower nasal base: Reduces the width of wide or flared nostrils.
Better facial balance: Brings the nose into proportion with the eyes and mouth.
Short procedure: Usually performed under local anesthesia with a relatively quick recovery.
Combines well: Often combined with rhinoplasty or tip plasty for a complete result.
The incision is placed along the natural fold where the nostril meets the cheek, so scars are well concealed once healed.
Who are suitable alarplasty candidates?
Good candidates typically:
- Have wide or flared nostrils or a broad nasal base.
- Have asymmetrical nostrils that they would like to balance.
- Are in good general health and do not smoke.
- Have realistic expectations about the result.
What is special about alarplasty at Wooa?
At Wooa Plastic Surgery & Dermatology, alarplasty is planned around your facial proportions rather than a fixed measurement. Our surgeons choose between inside and outside incision techniques to reduce width naturally while keeping scars minimal.
How much does alarplasty cost in Korea?
The cost of alarplasty in Korea depends on the technique used, the complexity of your case, whether it is combined with other procedures, and the type of anesthesia required. At Wooa, you receive a personalized quote after your consultation with the surgeon.
