LUHO PLASTIC SURGERY

LUHO Alar Reduction

The most important thing is how well scars are concealed after surgery.

Detail 1

Alar reduction surgery with virtually imperceptible scars is only possible with precise design and delicate surgical techniques.

We provide personalized alar reduction to improve widely flared nostrils and thick nasal alae, naturally reduce the width of the nose, and create a more defined, refined nasal line with balanced proportions harmonious with the face.

Suitable in the following cases

❶ When the nostrils are very large and round

❷ When the nasal alae are wide but the nasal tip cannot be raised significantly

❸ When bringing the nasal tip together may make the nasal alae appear wider

❹ When the overall shape of the nasal alae is not harmonious with the face

LUHO Plastic Surgery Alar Reduction Procedure

❶ With nasal tip surgery, the nasal alae are pulled upward in most cases, changing the nostril shape to a more elongated form.

❷ When nasal tip surgery alone is insufficient, the incision line is precisely designed to conceal scars, and excess nasal tissue is excised.

❸ Double-layer meticulous closure using fine sutures helps ensure that scars are well concealed.

LUHO Plastic Surgery Rhinoplasty Materials

To reduce the possibility of complications, LUHO uses autologous tissue for rhinoplasty whenever possible.

❶ Ear cartilage

Its elasticity makes it suitable for reinforcing the shape of the nasal tip.

❸ Rib cartilage

    Overall, this online consultation for aesthetic eye treatment was quite good. The consultant provided detailed and patient explanations, analyzed the issues based on my eye condition, and offered suitable improvement options. There was no aggressive sales pressure during the process, which made me feel comfortable and gave me a clearer understanding of the subsequent treatment plan.
