Alarabase reduction is a cosmetic surgery done to minimize the big nasal wing.

In alar base reduction surgery, a surgeon removes some amount of skin from the nasal wing. As a result, the nostrils and nose will look smaller and narrower.

Alar base reduction is a type of rhinoplasty and is common in people with a flared nose.

During the consultation, one discusses the expected surgery results, surgery method, and techniques. One should also let the doctor know about the medical history and medications currently being taken.

Alar base reduction is a less invasive surgery which means that the doctor administers local anesthesia. Also, he does not open the nose to reduce it.

He would rather cut the excess amount of the skin from the nose wings.
