Reference Price	2,000–5,000 yuan/session	1,000–3,000 yuan/session	4,000–20,000 yuan
Principle	After injection, nerve impulses to the muscles are blocked, causing nasal muscles to become paralyzed, atrophy, and shrink in size.	A small incision is made on the nose, and excess localized fat is suctioned out using negative pressure.	A small incision is made around the nose to remove excess cartilage and fat tissue, followed by suturing.
Suitable Candidates	Individuals with well-developed or enlarged alar muscles	Individuals with excessive fat accumulation in the alar region	Individuals with enlarged, overly wide, or drooping alae nasi
Recovery Period	7–14 days	7–14 days	1–3 months
