Alarplasty

Alarplasty in Thailand at Yoskarn Clinic

Welcome to Yoskarn Clinic, a trusted name in cosmetic and facial plastic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand. Our board-certified surgeons specialize in alarplasty — a minimally invasive procedure that reshapes the nostrils for a more balanced and refined nose.

Who is a Good Candidate for Alarplasty?

Alarplasty, also known as alar base reduction surgery, is ideal for individuals who:

• Have wide, flared, or asymmetrical nostrils
• Feel their nostrils dominate their facial proportions
• Want to refine nose appearance without full rhinoplasty
• Have ethnic nose shapes that naturally include wider nasal bases
• Are in good health with realistic expectations

Patients must be at least 18 years old with fully developed facial features.

Types of Alarplasty Procedures

At Yoskarn Clinic, we tailor each procedure to your facial anatomy and desired outcome. Common alarplasty techniques include:

1. Weir Excision Technique

• Removes a wedge of tissue from the base of the nostrils.
• Common for reducing nostril width and flaring.

2. Nasal Base Reduction

• Targets both width and projection of the nasal base.
• Ideal for patients with bulbous or protruding nostrils.

3. Alar Cinching

• Involves suturing internal tissues to narrow nostril span.
• Less invasive, often used in minor corrections or alongside rhinoplasty.

Benefits of Alarplasty at Yoskarn Clinic

• Minimally invasive with minimal downtime
• Permanent and natural-looking results
• No change to nasal bone structure
• Balances facial features
• Custom techniques for Asian, African, and Middle Eastern noses
• Performed under local anesthesia

Recovery After Alarplasty

• Outpatient procedure — return home the same day
• Swelling & bruising: Mild, usually resolves within 7–10 days
• Stitches removal: Around day 5–7
• Avoid heavy activity for at least 1 week
• Return to work: Usually after 3–5 days

Scars are discreetly hidden along natural nasal creases and fade over time.

Combine Alarplasty with Other Rhinoplasty Techniques

Alarplasty can be performed as a standalone procedure or as part of a comprehensive rhinoplasty to enhance overall nose shape and function.

🔹 Common combinations include:

• Dorsal hump reduction
• Tip refinement
• Septoplasty (to correct breathing issues)
• Asian rhinoplasty (ethnic preservation with enhancement)

Combining procedures ensures harmonious results and reduces the need for multiple surgeries.
