How is APEX alar reduction performed?
A method that removes skin from the nostril
The lower nasal skin is excised in a wedge shape and sutured to draw the alae inward.
The incision line falls along the border between the ala and the cheek, so the scar is barely noticeable.
Before surgery
A wide alar base and large nostrils

Nostril size is reducedAfter surgery
