ALAR REDUCTION – REFINED BEAUTY, SEAMLESS RESULTS AT SHERATON CLINIC

A beautifully defined nose doesn’t come from height alone — it’s also shaped by the delicate balance and soft curvature of the alar wings.

At Sheraton Clinic, our Alar Reduction (Alarplasty) is performed using advanced microsurgical techniques with hidden-scar suturing and high-grade absorbable collagen threads — resulting in a smaller, more refined, and harmonious nose without visible signs of surgery.

 

1. What is Alar Reduction?

Alar Reduction is a minor surgical procedure that reshapes the nostril wings and base to reduce nasal width — creating a more slender, elevated, and balanced appearance.

Depending on each patient’s nasal structure, the surgeon will recommend one of the following:

• External Alar Reduction: Removes excess tissue at the outer alar rim — ideal for wide nostrils with thicker skin.
• Internal Alar Reduction: Refines the nostril base internally — producing a naturally narrowed, elegant contour.

Each technique is performed with millimeter-level precision, ensuring smooth sutures and near-invisible scarring after recovery.

2. The Benefits of Alar Reduction

Although simple in technique, Alar Reduction delivers subtle yet noticeable improvements to facial balance:

• Enhances facial harmony: Narrowing the nostrils creates a refined proportion between the nasal bridge, tip, and base — resulting in a more elegant, balanced look
• Accentuates nasal height: A smaller alar base makes the nose appear naturally taller and slimmer, even without bridge augmentation
• Refines facial expression: A narrower nasal base enhances the smile and facial definition for a soft yet sophisticated appearance
• Optimizes rhinoplasty results: Often performed as a complementary procedure after nasal bridge augmentation to harmonize the entire nose structure.

The beauty of this technique lies not in drastic change — but in the art of subtle refinement, bringing out a more delicate, natural, and seamless appearance.

3. Microsurgical Precision – The Secret to Scar-Free Results

3.1. Tiny Incisions Hidden Within Natural Folds

Dr. Sheraton designs the incision along the natural crease between the nose and cheek. Once healed, the scar blends perfectly into the fold — virtually invisible to the naked eye.

The incision measures only 0.5–0.8 cm, minimizing intervention while maximizing refinement.

3.2. Absorbable Collagen Sutures – Smooth, Natural Healing

Using advanced internal suturing and premium absorbable collagen threads, the wound heals evenly without the need for stitch removal.
Within 2–3 weeks, the tissue stabilizes, and the incision becomes barely noticeable.

3.3. Absolute Sterility

All procedures are performed in an international-standard sterile operating room — ensuring a closed, aseptic environment that minimizes risks of infection or poor scarring.

Step 1: Consultation & Nasal Analysis
The surgeon evaluates the nasal width, skin, and base structure to determine the most suitable technique.

Step 2: Surgery in a Sterile Operating Room

Step 3: Post-Operative Care & Monitoring

5. Aftercare – The Key to Perfect Results

At Sheraton Clinic, clients receive personalized post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery and flawless scar minimization.

Within 48 hours: Reduce Swelling & Protect Tissue

• Take prescribed anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling medication.
• Keep the nasal area dry; avoid touching or washing directly with water.
• Sleep with your head elevated; avoid side-lying positions.
  

Days 3–7: Gentle Cleaning & Moisturizing

• Gently wipe the area with warm saline gauze.
• Apply doctor-prescribed tissue-regeneration cream.
• Avoid makeup or wearing glasses that press on the nose.
  

After 7–10 Days: Shape Stabilization & Scar Fading

• Follow-up check to assess healing and apply medical scar gel if needed.
• Resume light activities; avoid steam, sauna, or direct sun exposure
• After 2–3 weeks, the nasal wings become soft, symmetrical, and scar-free.

6. Recovery Timeline & Results

• Day 3: Noticeable reduction in swelling, dry incision, no pain.
• Day 7: Nose begins to take shape; sutures heal smoothly.
• Week 2: Scars fade and are nearly invisible.
• Month 1: Nose stabilizes — soft, natural, and beautifully refined.
