Are you feeling frustrated from wide or outspread nostrils which get more exaggerated while smiling? Every 4 out of 10 individuals are feeling the same but Alarplasty in Dubai can efficiently modify your nose shape as per your desire. Life is too short to be insecure about these imperfections so why not treat them as soon as possible? Just continue further and get started!
Understanding Alarplasty in Dubai:
Alarplasty is a delicate procedure that refines the outlook of nostrils by removing a small amount of skin from the alar. The procedure precisely removes the alar or fleshy part of the nose for a symmetrical facial appearance. This is a perfect and minimally invasive way to modify nose appearance without undergoing a full Rhinoplasty.
Small wedge-shaped skin from where the nose meets the cheek groove is removed surgically to create smaller, narrower nostrils. The treatment aims to build an aesthetically beautiful nose and is simple and quick with minimum downtime.
Key Techniques in Alarplasty:
The three main techniques of Alarplasty Surgery are presented below:
Alar Wedge Excision:
In this technique, the small wedge-shaped pieces of the skin and tissues from the alar are removed. The surgeon removes the wedges from the outer aspect of the nostril and then closes the remaining tissues with sutures.
Nasal Sill Excision:
This technique is intended to target the nasal sill(the area where the nostril meets the nasal floor). The surgeon removes a small amount of tissue from this area to reduce the width. This is also combined with a large wedge excision for comprehensive refinement.
V-Y Advancement:
In this method, the expert creates v-shaped incisions in the alarm and closes them in Y shape to reduce the size/ This VY advancement is used to address a range of nostril shapes and sizes and also it can preserve the natural curve.
Average Cost of Alarplasty:
The average Alarplasty Cost is affordable but relies on an initial consultation between the patient and the expert. The cost ranges from 6,999 AED to 9,999 AED. Prices vary as per the type of surgery, the nose’s complexity, anesthesia fees, the clinic’s reputation, and clients’ service ratings. Our doctors will review all the factors to provide you with a cost estimate and a clear understanding of what is included in your investment.
Why is it required?
Wide nostrils lead to unbalanced and out-of-proportioned facial features. An unpleasant nose structure alters beauty by deploying the prominence of cheeks, or forehead. Moreover, the ideal nose shape contains a subtle curve between the tip and the alar crease. If this curve is larger than average, the overall proportion of the fact doesn’t look good but Alarplasty can sort out these concerns in just a single session.
Rhinoplasty vs Alarplasty:
Rhinoplasty is done to straighten the bumps and depressions of the nasal bridge. It makes the surface of the nose smooth and deals with almost all the concerns of the nose. On the other hand, you can opt for Alarplasty if you are bothered by the size of your nostrils. The below table will give proper differentiation of these two techniques:
Rhinoplasty | Alarplasty |
Modifies the size and projection of the entire nose. | Only deals with nostrils. |
Takes 3 to 4 hours | Takes 1 hour |
More expensive | Less expensive |
Longer recovery | Shorter recovery. |
Incisions on the columella | Incisions on the alar |
Suitable for patients with significant deformities | Ideal for patients with minor asymmetries |
Uses general anesthesia | Ises local anesthesia. |
Visible scarring | Minimal scarring |
Note: If some other features of your nose are bothering you then you can consider Alarplasty along with Rhinoplasty.
