What happens in Alarplasty Surgery ? Dr. Vishal Patel Explains
Alarplasty surgery is a type of Rhinoplasty nose surgery in Mumbai which is used to reduce width of nasal base, or reduce excessive nostril flares in patients.
This surgery is also called as alar reduction surgery, alar base reduction surgery, or nostril reduction surgery or simply wide nostrils surgery.
During the surgery, the plastic surgeon will start with assessment and marking of the alar base and nostril dimensions. The surgeon will then carefully plan amount and location of tissue to be removed.
This may involve nose alar trimming or excision of the measured segment of alar skin and soft tissue.
The tissue is then removed in a conservative manner and the nostril shape is checked for symmetry. The wound is then precisely closed using sutures designed to follow natural contour of the nose.
Benefits of Alar Reduction Surgery in Mumbai
Wide nostrils are the main concern
If the bridge, tip, and overall nasal shape are satisfactory but the nostrils appear too wide, isolated alarplasty may address the primary concern.
Excessive nostril flare
When the alar wings extend noticeably outward but the rest of the nose is proportionate, alar flare reduction may be sufficient.
Broad nasal base
If the main issue is horizontal width at the bottom of the nose rather than the nasal bridge or tip, alar base reduction can provide targeted correction.
Thick or prominent alar tissue
In selected patients, excess soft tissue around the alar base may be the primary aesthetic concern and can potentially be addressed with a focused procedure.
The nasal tip already has the desired shape
If the tip is well-proportioned and the concern is limited to the nasal base, alarplasty can provide a more focused correction.
No major structural or breathing problem
When the patient does not require correction of the septum, nasal bones, tip cartilage, or other internal structures, isolated alarplasty may be considered.
Depending on patient’s goal, alarplasty can be performed alone or in combination of other rhinoplasty procedures such as full rhinoplasty or Septorhinoplasty.
At our alarplasty clinic in Mumbai, Recon Plastic Surgery & Physiotherapy Clinic, Dr. Vishal Patel assesses alar cartilage, alar base, nostril shape before he decides whether alarplasty is appropriate or not and also clearly mentions how much reduction is really possible.
He doesn’t give false commitment and focuses on achieving natural-looking outcome rather than simply making the nostril as small as possible.

Types of Alarplasty in Mumbai done by Dr. Vishal Patel
Dr. Vishal Patel is an expert in various type of Alar reduction techniques. The exact type of Alar reduction surgery to perform depend on nasal base nostril shape and patient’s anatomy.
Dr. Vishal Patel can perform Alar base reduction surgery, Alar rim reduction, Alar wedge excision, Alar flare reduction, and even Alar width reduction surgery.
Dr. Vishal Patel perform these surgeries and select the right combination of technique based on nostril shape, soft tissue characteristics, and desired outcome by patient. Let’s discuss each of these type of Alar reduction surgery in detail.
Alar Base Reduction in Mumbai
Alar base reduction is a technique used to narrow an excessively wide nasal base and, in selected cases, reduce the apparent width of the nostrils.
The aim is to create a narrower and more proportionate nasal base while maintaining natural nostril shape and nasal function.
In Mumbai, Dr. Vishal Patel checks the nasal base from frontal and profile views, considers skin and soft-tissue thickness, nostril symmetry, alar flare, and overall facial proportions, and selects the amount and location of Alar reduction accordingly.
Alar Rim Reduction in Mumbai
Alar rim reduction focuses on the outer curved margin of the nostril rather than simply reducing the overall nasal base.
It may be considered when the alar rim or sidewall appears excessively thick, bulky, or prominent and requires carefully planned soft-tissue modification.
Dr. Vishal Patel assesses the thickness, contour, symmetry, and structural support of the alar rim before deciding whether rim modification is actually required.
Alar Wedge Excision in Mumbai
Alar wedge excision involves removing a carefully measured wedge or crescent-shaped segment of tissue from the lateral alar region.
It is one of the established techniques used in alar base surgery and may be performed alone or combined with nostril sill reduction when both width and flare need correction.
Dr. Vishal Patel is an expert in performing Alar wedge excision surgery in Mumbai who first assesses each side independently for asymmetry and carefully determine the amount of tissue to remove.
Alar Lobule Reduction in Mumbai
Alar lobule reduction targets excess fullness or vertical size of the lower soft-tissue portion of the ala, particularly when the alar lobule appears prominent or contributes to excessive flare.
Alar lobule reduction is done to reduce the size of the lobule while attempting to preserve its natural curved contour and the relationship between the nostril and alar-facial groove.
Dr. Vishal Patel assesses lobule from multiple views, including the frontal and profile perspectives before deciding whether alar reduction is appropriate for Lobule or not.
Alar Flare Reduction in Mumbai
Alar flare reduction is done to address nostrils or alar wings that extend outward excessively from the face, creating a visibly broad or flared nasal base.
A crescent or wedge-shaped excision may be carefully planned within the alar-facial groove to reduce lateral flare but preserving natural Alar curve.
This type of Alar flare surgery helps to get a less outward-flaring nasal base and improved facial proportion without unnecessarily making the nostrils smaller.
Alar Width Reduction in Mumbai
Alar width reduction is a focused nose-reshaping technique used to reduce excessive horizontal width of the alar region.
This is useful when the lower part of the nose appears broad in relation to the rest of the face.
It may be considered for patients with wide nostrils, a broad nasal base, or excessive alar flare, and can involve carefully planned removal or repositioning of alar soft tissue. The goal is to not simply to make the nose smaller, but to create better proportion between the nostrils, nasal base, nasal tip.

The cost of Alarplasty surgery in Mumbai, India depends upon various cost factors. On an average, in 2026, the cost of Alarplasty surgery in Mumbai ranges from Rs. 70,000 to Rs. 1,80,000, depending upon whether it is isolated Alarplasty or a combination procedure.
Please note, the final price of Alarplasty surgery varies based on the exact technique used and the extent of nasal base correction required.
The cost of Alarplasty surgery also depends upon whether the surgery involves simple nostril reduction, alar base reduction, alar flare correction, or if you need a more detailed reshaping, the complexity increases and hence the cost.
However, in some cases, patient may also need correction of nasal tip, bridge, septum, or overall nasal structure. And in that case, you need to combine Alarplasty along with rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty. This combination of procedure increases the overall cost, but you will avoid paying a lot for separate procedures later.

FAQs on Alar Reduction Surgery in Mumbai by Dr. Vishal Patel
Will alarplasty change the shape of my entire nose?
No. Alarplasty mainly focuses on the nasal base and nostrils. It is designed to reduce excessive nostril width or alar flare rather than reshape the entire nose. If other parts of the nose also need correction, Dr. Vishal Patel may discuss rhinoplasty or a combined procedure like Septorhinoplasty in Mumbai.
Can alarplasty be performed without changing the nasal tip?
Yes. Alarplasty can be performed as an isolated procedure when the main concern is wide nostrils or excessive alar flare. The nasal tip does not necessarily need to be changed.
Will an alarplasty scar be visible?
Alarplasty does leave a surgical scar, but it is generally positioned in a natural alar crease or less conspicuous area where possible. Scar appearance varies from person to person and depends on healing, skin type, surgical technique, and aftercare.
How long does swelling after alarplasty last?
Swelling is common after surgery and usually improves gradually. Most noticeable swelling settles during the early healing period, but minor swelling or changes in the scar can continue to improve for several weeks or months. Your individual healing time may vary. Checkout this latest informative video on Rhinoplasty after care instruction by Dr. Vishal Patel.
How do I know whether I need alarplasty or another nose procedure?
The best way is through a in person inspection by Dr. Vishal Patel. Wide nostrils, excessive alar flare, a broad nasal base, or nostril asymmetry may sometimes be addressed with alarplasty, while other concerns may require rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty. Dr. Vishal Patel evaluates your nasal anatomy, facial proportions, breathing, and goals before recommending a procedure.
How much can my nostrils be reduced?
The amount of reduction depends on your nasal anatomy, facial proportions, skin and soft tissue. Excessive reduction should be avoided to maintain a natural appearance and nasal function.
