Alar Base Reduction
from 1,300,000 KRW* VAT Not Included
This is an alar base reduction procedure that gathers widely flared nostrils using a specialized elastic band (Elastidream). Depending on the case, only minimal incisions are made inside or outside the nose, and the band is designed to stretch and contract with facial muscle movements, allowing it to adapt naturally to changes in facial expression. If the nostrils are extremely wide, an incisional alar base reduction may be considered.
Surgery Overview
Elasty D Non-incisional method Alar Base Reduction is a procedure that gathers flared nostrils using a special elastic band (Elasty D) that stretches and contracts. Performed using a Non-incisional method or minimal incision, it involves minimal scar concerns and a short procedure time. The band stretches and contracts with facial muscle movements, allowing for a natural appearance even when smiling.
Gather flared nostrils for a refined impression You can achieve a more natural change in appearance more easily than with conventional Alar Base Reduction. For round, wide nostrils, balancing the overall Face through Alar Base Reduction creates an elegant, refined impression from every angle.

· Those with a low, flared, or drooping Nasal Tip · Those with wide nostrils and a flat nasal tip · Those whose blunt, wide Nasal Tip makes the nose appear stuffy · Those with a high Nasal Bridge but an unsatisfactory Nasal Tip shape

What Kind of Band Is Elasty D?
01. Patented Band Manufactured in Italy
This band reflects the medical technology and expertise of Italian board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sergio Capurro and can be applied not only to the Face, such as for Lifting and Scar Revision, but also to the body.
02. Strong Elasticity
Its strong elasticity allows it to stretch freely without restricting skin movement, restoring facial elasticity through natural movement.
03. Stable Tissue Integration
With polyester wrapped around micro-silicone, Autologous Tissue enters the spaces between the bands and functions as an artificial ligament within a few weeks.
Director Kang Moon-seok Shares Elasty D Expertise
Chief Director Kang Moon-seok was selected by Italian board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sergio Capurro as an Asian training doctor and shares his expertise with medical staff at various hospitals in Korea through live surgeries and lectures. He was the first in the world to present and publish a paper on Elasty D Lifting.
Procedure Method
As the procedure is performed using a Non-incisional method with a special material band, scar concerns are minimal, with a short procedure time and quick recovery expected.
SOLUTION 1. Elasty D Alar Base Reduction Through a Minimal Incision
Depending on the case, Alar Base Reduction is performed through a minimal incision inside or outside the nose. Recovery is very fast, and nostril correction can be tailored to the patient's type.
SOLUTION 2. Nasolabial Angle Correction Through Alar Base Reduction
Reducing the nostrils with Elasty D provides additional corrective effects, such as improving nasolabial folds or Nasolabial Angle Correction.
SOLUTION 3. Special Band Without a Foreign Body Sensation
Using a special band rather than thread allows for natural movement and a comfortable smile. Similar to human tissue, it does not cause a foreign body reaction and remains stably fixed and integrated.
