Ruby Alar Cinching
We reduce large, wide-spread nasal wings to turn a heavy look into a refined one. We analyze the exact cause of the wide wings to choose the right method, and keep incisions small to ease worries about scars and recurrence.
Wide nasal wings
Wide nasal wings can make the nose look low and nostrils big.
Overall size reduced
Reducing the overall spread makes the nostrils look smaller.
Refined impression
A heavy-looking impression becomes dimensional and refined.

What sets our alar cinching apart
We reduce the alae symmetrically and keep suture lines discreet.
Slimmer from the front
Widely spread nasal wings can be corrected to improve toward a slim, sleek nose line even from the front.
A refined look
By reducing both nasal wings so they look symmetrical, a flat, heavy impression can be improved into a refined image.
Less scar worry
We perform alar cinching that keeps the suture line inconspicuous to minimize concern about scarring and recurrence.
When the nostrils are large
Part of the nasal wing tissue is removed and sutured to reduce its size. The suture line sits on the nostril floor or inside the wing, so it is hard to see from the front or side.
Before surgery
Wide nasal wings and large nostrils
Incision
Outer or inner incision focused on the nostril
Suturing
By suturing, the width of the nose and the size of the nostrils are reduced
After surgery
Suitable nasal wings and nostrils
When the lower part of the nostril is wide
When the lower part of the nostril is wide and the nasal wings look spread, a thread is used to pull the nasal wings together, correcting the spread nasal wings into slim ones.
Before surgery
Wide nasal wings
Tying with thread

Pulling the thread to gather
Pulling the thread reduces the width of the nose and the size of the nostrils
