CHARACTERISTICSNasal Wing Elevation
Nasal Wing Lift is a procedure suitable for those who wish to refine the appearance of drooping nasal wings (nostrils). By making an incision in part of the nasal wing and elevating its position, the procedure balances the appearance around the nose for a more refined look.
【What is a drooping nose tip?】
Generally, this refers to a condition where the nasal wings are lower than the columella, which is the vertical portion between the left and right nostrils.
The nasal wings refer to the base of the sides extending outward from the nose. Commonly called the nostrils in everyday language, they are one of the key features that shape the overall impression of the face.
Surgical Methods for Nasal Wing Elevation
During alar base reduction surgery, an incision is made along the groove above the alar base (nostrils). Excess skin and tissue are removed, and the alar base is then repositioned and secured in a higher position. This procedure results in...Lightly lift the drooping sides of the noseorViewed from the frontIt can help make your nostrils less noticeable.
The incision is made along the groove on the outer edge of the nostril, with careful consideration given to minimize scar visibility. The design and amount of tissue removal are meticulously adjusted based on overall facial balance and the patient's preferences.
The surgery takes approximately 60 minutes, but it may take longer if other rhinoplasty procedures besides alar base reduction are performed simultaneously.
The Difference Between Nasal Wing Elevation and Nasal Wing Reduction
For those seeking a more refined appearance of the alar base (nostrils), representative rhinoplasty procedures include alar base reduction in addition to alar base elevation. Each approach differs, and it is important to select the procedure based on your specific concerns.
Nasal alar reduction is a procedure suitable for those concerned about the width of their nostrils. It involves removing a portion of skin from the outer or inner edge of the nostrils to make the nostrils themselves smaller. On the other hand, alar base reduction lifts drooping nostrils, naturally improving the appearance of the nostrils and the impression when smiling. Combining alar base reduction with alar reduction can also create a more balanced and natural nose shape.
Nasal alar elevation lifts the nostrils, thereby improving the balance between the columella and alar base, known as the ACR. The ACR is the line connecting the columella and alar base; ideally, it forms an inverted isosceles triangle. Individuals with drooping nostrils tend to have an upward-pointing triangle. The ACR also forms an upward-pointing triangle when the columella is retracted.
Benefits
MERITAddress drooping nostrils for a refined nose
By removing and lifting the drooping skin of the nostrils, you can achieve a more refined appearance of the nose.
The nose achieves balanced proportions, and the nostrils become less noticeable.
By achieving an ACR shaped like an inverted triangle, the nostrils become less noticeable when viewed from the front.
Lift drooping nostrils to create a youthful impression
Drooping nostrils can make you look older or tired. Lifting them helps achieve a naturally youthful appearance.
Recommended Features
RECOMMENDED POINTSMany people have complexes about their noses.
The nose, located at the center of the face, is an area that easily draws attention. Therefore, many people are concerned about the shape and size of their nose.
In particular, Asian noses, such as those of Japanese people, tend to have more skin and subcutaneous tissue compared to Western noses, making the width and size of the alar base (nostrils) a common concern. At Bianca Clinic, we frequently hear requests like "I want smaller nostrils" or "I want to refine my large nose."
Nasal alar elevation is a procedure suitable for individuals whose alae are positioned lower than the columella. For those seeking to reduce the size of the alae, alar reduction (nose tip reduction) may be the appropriate approach. The optimal technique varies depending on the patient.
We examine each patient's face through palpation and visual inspection to recommend the most suitable rhinoplasty procedure. Please schedule a consultation first.
Nasal wing lift results in less noticeable scarring.
Compared to rhinoplasty procedures such as septal extension using cartilage grafts or hump reduction to refine the nasal bridge, alar base reduction involves a smaller incision area and is a procedure that places relatively less burden on the body.
An incision is made along the groove beside the nostrils and sutured, carefully ensuring it blends with the natural creases of the nostrils. After a few days of swelling and approximately 10 days of bruising, the downtime typically passes, and the scar from the rhinoplasty is rarely noticeable.
We are also available to discuss surgery scheduling.
We'll design a beautiful nose just for you
Bianca employs multiple surgeons who specialize in rhinoplasty, providing procedures that leverage advanced technical expertise. We don't just adjust the shape or size of the nose; we also carefully examine the inside of the nose using a speculum to check for any structural issues. We aim for results that satisfy you functionally as well.
We offer a wide range of procedures, including hyaluronic acid injections (nose hyaluronic acid), skin excision, and osteotomy. We propose the most suitable approach tailored to each patient's individual goals and concerns.
Furthermore, we utilize the 3D simulation system "Vectra" to share a preview of the final results with both patients and doctors beforehand. We will carefully explain what kind of procedure will be performed and what kind of changes can be expected.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nasal Wing Lift
Q&AWhat is a nasal wing lift procedure?
Nasal alar base lift surgery corrects nasal imbalance by elevating drooping alar bases (nostrils). An incision is made along the lateral groove of the alar base, excess skin is removed, and the alar base is lifted and sutured in place.
Are the scars from alar base reduction noticeable?
In alar base elevation, the incision is made along the lateral nasal crease, so the scar is usually inconspicuous. However, the healing of the surgical scar varies depending on individual differences and the postoperative course.
How long is the downtime for a nose wing lift?
Individual results may vary, but swelling typically lasts for several days, and bruising may persist for about 10 days.
Who is a good candidate for alar base reduction? What are the indications?
This procedure is ideal for those concerned about the width of their nostrils. It is particularly suitable for cases where the nostrils are lower than the columella (the vertical part between the nostrils).
Do you have any before-and-after photos of alar base reduction?
You can view rhinoplasty case examples on our website's case gallery or via each doctor's social media accounts.
What is the difference between alar base reduction and alar base reduction (nose wing reduction)?
Nasal alar lift is a rhinoplasty procedure that addresses drooping nostrils. Nasal alar reduction (nose wing reduction) aims to create a more refined appearance by excising excess skin from flared nostrils. Both methods are used to refine the overall impression of the nasal area.
What is the difference between alar base elevation and alar rim elevation?
Both are rhinoplasty procedures that address drooping nostrils. In alar rim elevation, skin is removed from the alar rim (the edge of the nostrils), resulting in a strong lifting effect on the drooping curve of the alar rim. In contrast, alar base elevation lifts the entire alar base upward, producing a stronger effect of elevating the position of the alar base (the lowest point at the base of the nostrils).
Are there any disadvantages or risks associated with alar base reduction?
Potential disadvantages include swelling, bruising, and scarring during the recovery period. Additionally, there is a risk that lifting the nostrils too much could result in an unnatural shape of the nostrils (the holes in the nose).
