Alar Reduction Surgery in Seoul | Gangnam Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Alar Reduction Surgery?

Alar reduction surgery, also known as nostril reduction, is a cosmetic procedure that refines wide or flared nostrils for a more balanced and proportionate nose. This procedure is ideal for individuals who feel their nostrils appear too broad, asymmetrical, or overpowering in relation to their facial features.

At Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Dr. Kwon performs precise alarplasty techniques to create a natural and harmonious nasal appearance.

Am I a Good Candidate for Alar Reduction?

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Have wide or flared nostrils that affect your facial balance
• Desire a more refined nasal base
• Want subtle, natural-looking changes
• Are in good health with realistic expectations
• A consultation with Dr. Kwon will help determine if alar reduction surgery is right for your facial structure and goals.

Alar Reduction Surgery Procedure

This minimally invasive procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30–60 minutes.



Key Steps of the Procedure:

1. Marking the nostrils to plan the optimal incision location
2. Small incisions at the base of the nostrils to remove excess tissue
3. Precise suturing to ensure a smooth, natural shape
4. Minimal scarring hidden within the natural crease of the nose

Depending on your anatomy, Dr. Kwon may perform alar base reduction, wedge excision, or nostril sill reduction to achieve the best results.

Recovery and Aftercare

• Mild swelling and bruising for the first 7–10 days
• Stitches removed around day 5–7
• Minimal discomfort with proper aftercare
• Avoid excessive nose movement for 1–2 weeks
• Final refined results visible after 1–3 months

Since alar reduction is a minor surgical procedure, recovery is relatively quick compared to other nose surgeries.
