This is education, not advice
The material on this website is general patient education about narrowing the alar base. It is not a diagnosis, not a surgical plan and not a personal medical opinion. It cannot account for your anatomy, your airway or your history, and reading it does not create a clinical relationship.
No outcome is guaranteed
Aesthetic surgery is a matter of probability rather than certainty. Scars mature differently in different people, symmetry between the two sides is rarely perfect, and complications occur even when an operation is performed well. Nothing on this site should be read as a promise of a particular result, and no clinician can honestly give one.
Individual suitability varies
Whether narrowing the base is appropriate can only be decided in an assessment by a qualified clinician who has examined your nose and reviewed your history. Statements about who usually does well describe patterns, not your case, and this operation is declined more often than it is performed for exactly that reason.
Seek qualified care
If you have a health concern, arrange an assessment rather than relying on any website. If you have symptoms that could be an emergency — difficulty breathing, chest pain, a fever with spreading redness around the nose, or bleeding that does not stop — seek emergency care immediately rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
