ETONNE REBUILT NOSE SURGERY
Alar reduction
Also called Alar Base Reduction, Nostril Reduction
Alar reduction is a surgery that reduces alae (the wings of the nose) that are wide relative to the width of the nasal bridge, along with the size of the nostrils. It targets the alae and nostrils rather than the nasal bridge or nasal tip, and how much to reduce is decided so that the result harmonizes with the overall shape of the nose. At ETONNE in Gangnam, Seoul (Gangnam-daero, Nonhyeon Station), the surgery is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Kim Harkyoung, Dr. Kim Jaegon, and Dr. Koo Heetae.
A refined nose made by the subtlest changes.
The nose determines the central image.
So that your image is beautiful, ETONNE analyzes properly from the start and cares for you thoroughly.
A plastic surgeon with skilled technique and a delicate sense
operates swiftly so that the body is not burdened, and after surgery
does the utmost to manage your care for a healthier life.
Slim Nose.
A comprehensive diagnosis is made so that the nose harmonizes with its overall shape, and the alae,
blunt and wide compared with the width of the bridge, are reduced to a fitting size. The incision is closed so that the incision line falls where it is less noticeable,
and the alae are tidied for a balanced nose.
Precise measurement. A rough impression turned slim and sharp.
With the high-level skill and refined sense of a plastic surgeon experienced in rhinoplasty,
a shape that suits the individual is created, and the balance of both nostrils
is matched as well, completing a refined image.
Precise surgery, healthy recovery.

ETONNE Rhinoplasty Highlights
01 Tailored Rhinoplasty
Customized rhinoplasty is our principle. The design considers the condition and shape
of each individual's nose, the harmony of the face and personal taste.
Flaws are minimized and only the merits are brought out, to create the most ideal nose.
02 Direct Surgery by the Responsible Surgeon
From the surgical plan and the comprehensive examination to the surgery and post-operative care,
the designated medical team carries out 1:1 tailored management throughout.
03 Beautiful and Natural Nose
With the know-how of skilled specialists, the surgery is performed so that the nose, the center of the face,
harmonizes with the forehead, cheekbones, eyes, chin, lips and the rest.
04 Safe and Responsible Post-Surgery Care
Safety systems such as a safe anesthesia system and an uninterruptible power system are in place
inside and outside the operating room, putting safety first.
POINT 1.
ETONNE's Anthropometrics
ETONNE measures the detailed structures of the nose and their sizes closely,
and when necessary checks even the parts that cannot be seen
with the naked eye through a 3D-CT scan.
It also considers the position and height of the forehead, the position of the chin tip, the glabella and the philtrum,
together with the shape and line the client wants,
to present a surgical result of high completeness.
One Line
a. The line reaching from between the eyebrows to the tip of the nose and its curvature
Two heights
b. The height of the nasal tip c. The height of the glabella
Three angles
d. The angle between the forehead/glabella and the nasal bridge e. The angle between the nasal tip and the columella f. The angle between the columella and the lips
POINT 2.
Optimal Material Selection
to Match Patient Condition and Needs
Septal Cartilage
Harvesting from inside the nose makes the process easier compared to other cartilages.
It possesses an appropriate thickness and strength, and its almost curve-free nature facilitates easy shaping.
Used for building up the nasal tip or the bridge.
Ear Cartilage
The incision is made behind the ear, so the scar lies behind the ear.
Its shape resembles the nose, being round and elastic, which facilitates the construction of the nasal tip's structure.
Suitable when the amount of septal cartilage is insufficient.
Rib Cartilage
Strong support and durability, and a sufficient amount can be secured.
Used when septal or ear cartilage is insufficient, for significantly low noses, or during revision surgeries.
What matters most is using a material
that suits you and using it safely.
Since the amount of cartilage tissue and skin elasticity differ from person to person,
ETONNE assesses each patient's condition precisely
and selects the optimal material.
“I will not leave the operating room until his or her
nose looks as good as I can make it.”

Design that Meets Patient Needs
Surgical Detail Design
In rhinoplasty, there is no surgical material that perfectly matches
a patient's needs, as if it were the one right answer.
The patient's current nasal condition
and various circumstances have to be considered
when the final material and surgical method are chosen.
Ahead of rhinoplasty, ETONNE
checks and carries out many things so as not to miss
even the smallest detail about the patient's condition.
The foundation must be firm,
and the structure, following the properties of the materials,
must be systematically designed and built —
just as that is how a building that will not collapse is raised,
ETONNE, with rich clinical experience
and surgical know-how that can be applied to a wide range of materials,
strives for rhinoplasty results that, in any environment and condition,
are beautiful, and whose beauty
is maintained for a long time.
ETONNE's top priority is building trust based on patient safety and satisfaction. From sharing transparent processes before surgery to providing professional care afterwards, ETONNE commits to delivering high-quality medical services.

Precautions
Swelling and bruising may occur after surgery, and how long they take to subside varies from person to person. A scar remains at the incision site, and in rare cases bleeding, infection, inflammation, or left–right asymmetry may occur, which may require additional treatment. Depending on how much the alae are reduced, the nostrils may look awkward in shape or the border where the alae meet the cheeks may look unnatural, so the extent of reduction is decided by looking at the proportions of the whole nose. Please tell us at your pre-surgery consultation about any medications you take, including blood thinners such as anticoagulants, as well as any medical conditions and whether you smoke. During recovery, please avoid alcohol and smoking and attend follow-up visits as scheduled. Please make your decision after you have been fully informed of the risks and of alternative options. Results and recovery vary from person to person.
Who It's For
When the alae look wide and blunt compared with the width of the nasal bridge
When wide alae make the nose look large and give the face a coarse impression
When the alae or nostrils on the two sides look different in size or shape
Does alar reduction make the nasal wings smaller, or the nostrils (nostril reduction)?
Alar reduction is a surgery that reduces alae (the wings of the nose) that are wide relative to the width of the nasal bridge, and it also reduces the size of the nostrils. At ETONNE, we examine the width and shape of the alae and the shape of the nostrils together with the whole nose before deciding how much to reduce.
Can alar base reduction be done together with rhinoplasty?
Alar reduction can be done on its own, and it is sometimes planned together with nose surgery on the nasal bridge or nasal tip. Because the width of the alae forms proportions with the nasal bridge and nasal tip, at ETONNE we diagnose the overall shape and harmony of the nose and then decide at your consultation whether to combine them.
Will there be scars?
The incision is made at the base of the nostril, so a scar remains there. How the scar settles varies depending on your skin condition.
What are the anesthesia, surgery time, and recovery schedule?
The surgery takes about 15 minutes under local anesthesia or sleep anesthesia, and you go home the same day without hospitalization. Stitches are removed after about 7 days, daily activities are possible from the day after surgery, and about one follow-up visit is needed after surgery. How long swelling and bruising take to subside varies from person to person.
