Published in Cosmetic Surgery 1 min read

Alar trimming, also known as alarplasty or a nose trim, is a surgical procedure to narrow wide nostrils and reduce nostril flare. According to the reference, it's specifically "a surgical procedure done on those who have wide nose opening and flared nostrils." The goal is to reshape the alae (the outer sides of the nostrils) to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing nasal appearance.
