Adjust the lowered nasal alar rim (the edge of the nostrils)
Guiding you to a well-balanced nose
- Addressing concerns such as drooping nostril edges, prominent alar cartilage, and asymmetry in the nostrils
- Refine the shape of the nostrils and nasal wings for a sophisticated impression from both the front and profile.
- Combining with other treatments can also help achieve a more ideal nose shape.
utilizing a 3D simulation system
Through thorough consultation, we share the envisioned outcome
Nostril rim elevation is an extremely delicate procedure that involves designing the edge of the nostrils and adjusting the amount of tissue removed and suture placement down to the millimeter. Even slight differences can significantly alter the impression or risk creating asymmetry, demanding advanced design skills and technical expertise. Furthermore, to achieve a nose shape closer to the patient's ideal, accurately understanding their requests and vision during the preoperative consultation and determining whether these can be reflected in the design are also crucial points.
Bianca Clinic boasts numerous skilled rhinoplasty surgeons, including board-certified plastic surgeons recognized by the Japan Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Furthermore, one of our strengths is our meticulous consultations utilizing the 3D simulation system "VECTRA®." By creating a three-dimensional representation of the patient's own face and performing simulations from multiple angles, it is possible to concretely visualize the post-operative outcome. This enables us to aim for a more ideal result.
We sincerely address any concerns or anxieties you may have regarding your treatment, striving to ensure you can receive care with peace of mind. Please feel free to consult with us first.

CHARACTERISTICSNasal alar rim elevation
Nostril rim lift is a procedure to lift drooping nostrils (nostrils).By excising and suturing the skin along the lower edge and lifting the curve at the edge of the nostril,This procedure makes the nostrils appear smaller and more refined.
The nose, positioned at the center of the face, is one of the key features that determines the overall balance and impression of the face. When the edges of the nostrils (the alar rim) droop downward, it can make the nostrils appear prominent and large, or give the impression of thick, heavy-looking alar cartilage.
Nostril rim lift is a procedure designed to address these concerns. By removing excess skin along the nostril rim to restore balance, it transforms thick-looking nostrils into a sleek, refined appearance.
Approach to achieve an ideal balance between the alar base and columella
Nostril rim elevation is a procedure that not only softens the thickness of the alar base and refines the shape of the nostrils, but also offers the potential benefit of improving ACR balance.
ACR (Alar-Columellar Relationship) refers to the positional relationship formed by connecting three points on the nose when viewed from the front: the columella and the two alae (nostrils). The shape formed by these points is considered the “ideal ACR = beautiful nasal balance” when it forms an isosceles triangle pointing downward.
For those with an upward-pointing ACR triangle, the nostrils often droop. By performing a nostril rim lift to create a more isosceles triangle shape, the overall balance of the nose improves, aiming for a more harmonious facial appearance.
Incisions and sutures are made in areas where scars are less noticeable.
One advantage of alar rim elevation is that the resulting scar is less noticeable. This is because,This is because the incision is made along the edge of the nostril and the line of the alar base.At Bianca Clinic, we strive to perform procedures using incision designs that minimize scar visibility.
After the procedure, redness, swelling, and bruising may occur, but in most cases, these subside within a few days to 10 days, gradually achieving a natural result. With relatively minimal downtime, this treatment is also suitable for those wishing to minimize recovery time.

RECOMMENDED POINTSCauses and Reasons for Nasal Wings Flaring
Several factors can contribute to the appearance of enlarged nostrils. In some cases, multiple factors may interact to cause this condition. Understanding these factors can sometimes help prevent further progression. If you are concerned about the size or fullness of your nostrils, please review the points below.
1. Innate and genetic factors such as bone structure and body build
When the skin is thick and fatty, the entire nose appears rounded and voluminous, but
This is largely attributed to genetic factors. While skeletal causes are also often congenital, there are acquired cases where distortion of the maxilla—the foundation of the nose—pulls on the nasal bones, affecting the width and shape of the nostrils.
2. Aging
As skin loses elasticity and sags with age, or facial bone structure becomes thinner, cartilage and skin may be pulled outward, causing the nostrils and nasal openings to appear wider.
3. Daily habits and behaviors
Frequently touching your nose during daily activities can cause physical stress to the skin and cartilage, potentially leading to widening or bulging of the nostrils.
The prominence of the nostrils can stem from various factors, and in most cases, it's difficult to control it on your own. This is where cosmetic medical procedures become an option. Among these, alar rim elevation is a treatment often considered by many individuals seeking a solution to this concern.
The Difference Between Nasal Alar Rim Elevation and Nasal Alar Elevation and How to Choose Between Them
Nasal alar rim elevation and alar base elevation are both procedures that lift drooping nostrils to restore balance. However, they differ in the areas they target and the scope of their effects.
Nostril Rim Lift is a procedure suitable for those concerned about drooping nostril rims or thickness. By partially lifting the nostril rim, it naturally refines the appearance of the nostrils, aiming for a more balanced impression. On the other hand, alar base reduction involves removing skin from the alar base and surrounding areas to lift the entire alar region. This procedure makes the nostrils less prominent while also creating a brighter, more refined appearance for the entire face.
Nostril rim lift is ideal for those seeking a targeted approach to address sagging or thickness along the nostril rim. Nostril lift is suitable for individuals wishing to lift the entire alar base or significantly alter their facial appearance. The appropriate procedure depends on your nasal structure and desired outcome, so please feel free to schedule a complimentary consultation.

For those seeking a more ideal nose shape, combining it with alar reduction is also an option.
Nostril reduction surgery aims to reduce the fullness or narrow the width of the nostrils. While this procedure is popular at our clinic, some patients may find that although nostril reduction adjusts the width, the drooping edge leaves residual thickness. For such cases, nostril margin elevation proves beneficial, as it allows precise targeting of the nostril edge.
By combining two procedures, both the edges and width of the nostrils can be finely adjusted, resulting in a more balanced and beautiful appearance. This approach also facilitates detailed fine-tuning and corrections for cases involving asymmetry, such as one nostril being larger or nostril size differences.
At Bianca Clinic, we offer customized treatments tailored to your specific concerns. We propose treatment plans and designs that consider harmony with your overall facial balance. Please note that simultaneous nostril rim elevation and alar base reduction procedures are subject to the physician's judgment; please consult directly with us.
