Alar Base Reduction – Narrowing the Nostrils at Yoskarn Clinic

 Home » Rhinoplasty Types »  Revision Rhinoplasty Thailand

Understanding Alar Base Reduction

Alar Base Reduction is a precise cosmetic procedure aimed at narrowing the width of the nostrils to achieve better proportion and facial harmony. Often performed alongside tip plasty or full rhinoplasty, it helps refine the nasal base while maintaining natural appearance and ethnic identity.

At Yoskarn Clinic, this procedure is performed by Professor Somyos Kunachak, who has over 40 years of surgical experience, ensuring results that are both aesthetic and structurally sound.

The Complete Process

1. Consultation and Assessment

The process begins with a detailed consultation. Dr. Somyos examines the patient’s nasal anatomy, nostril width, skin thickness, and facial proportions. Photographs and digital simulations may be used to visualize potential outcomes, ensuring expectations are realistic and results are natural.

2. Pre-Operative Preparation

Before surgery, patients undergo routine health checks and receive guidance on pre-operative care. For international clients, Yoskarn Clinic provides concierge services, including airport pickup, hotel accommodation, and post-surgery support.

3. Surgery

Alar Base Reduction is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on patient preference.
The procedure involves:

• Removing a small wedge of tissue at the base of the nostrils

• Narrowing the alar base to achieve proportional width

• Preserving natural nostril shape and symmetry

Incisions are carefully placed and sutured to minimize visible scarring, ensuring a refined and natural appearance.

4. Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Recovery is generally quick, with mild swelling and discomfort resolving within 7–10 days.
Yoskarn Clinic offers dedicated post-operative care, including:

• Monitoring by experienced nurses

• Follow-up consultations with Dr. Somyos

• Comfortable recovery accommodations for international patients

Patients enjoy a smooth recovery while achieving natural, balanced results.
