Even though your nose shape isn't particularly strange,

why do your nostrils look more prominent in photos?

To Gangnam Alar Lowering Vibe Plastic Surgery,

among the people who come for a consultation,

especially when smiling or from an angle where the nose is seen from below,

there are those who say that nostril exposure or asymmetry

is a concern for them.

Starting from these concerns, as you look for

various information, the topic you naturally come across

is exactly 👃🏻alar lowering!

At Vibe Plastic Surgery, a place known for doing rhinoplasty well,

today we will summarize the information focusing on

what many people are most curious about :)

1. What is Alar Lowering?

👃🏻In cases where nostril exposure is prominent from the front,

such as with an upturned nose or retracted alae (dragon nose),

it is a method of adjusting the position and balance of the nostrils

to create a more stable and natural

impression.💫

Most people visit Vibe Plastic Surgery, a place known for doing rhinoplasty well,

for the following reasons.

​

There are mainly two cases where alar lowering is considered:

📌First, when the nostrils are highly visible from the front.

📌Second, when the size or shape of the left and right nostrils is asymmetrical.

Among those who visit

Gangnam Alar Lowering Vibe Plastic Surgery,

"If my nostrils are highly visible, is it a

good case for alar lowering?"

some people ask this question.

Just because the nostrils are highly visible does not mean

everyone is suitable for alar lowering!

2. Cases Confused with Alar Lowering

When considering alar lowering,

first and foremost, we look at the shape and visible form

of the nostrils.

Among those who come to

Gangnam Alar Lowering Vibe Plastic Surgery,

there are quite a few cases where the nostrils have a round and gentle shape,

yet are highly exposed

from the front.

In these cases, rather than the position of the alae,

the cause is often a structure where the nasal tip appears relatively short,

so rather than alar lowering,

nasal tip surgery can be more helpful.

Also, it is important to see where the nostrils look pinched.

Whether it is on the inside close to the columella,

the center of the nostril,

or the outside,

the appropriate surgical method can vary.

3. When Alar Lowering is Necessary

Generally, if the inner part of the nostril

looks pinched,

a more natural change is often expected

through alar lowering.

Like this, rather than focusing solely on

the nostrils being highly visible,

considering the shape and position together

is an important point :)

4. Alar Lowering Surgical Method

At Gangnam Alar Lowering Vibe Plastic Surgery, during surgery,

we apply a composite tissue graft method

that uses both cartilage and skin together.

This method usually utilizes ear cartilage,

and we harvest skin and cartilage together

from the upper or lower part of the ear cartilage

to use for the graft.

At Vibe Plastic Surgery, a place known for doing rhinoplasty well,

the surgery is performed with incisions only inside the nostrils,

so it has the advantage of

leaving no visible stitches on the outside!

Also, it is performed without applying a splint or packing the inside of the nose,

so the relatively fast recovery is

considered another advantage.

Post-operative stuffiness or discomfort

can be felt relatively less.

5. Why Careful Judgment is Important for Alar Lowering!

At Gangnam Alar Lowering, a place known for doing rhinoplasty well,

Vibe Plastic Surgery,

rather than looking at the shape of the alae alone,

we consider the overall balance and impression of the nose together

to carefully determine the direction

that fits each individual's condition.

Whether it is a case that requires alar lowering,

and which method is appropriate,

we value the process of helping you understand

through sufficient explanation.
