Introduction

Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to wait at least 3 to 6 months after undergoing alar base reduction surgery before considering any additional nasal procedures. Alar base reduction surgery involves removing a portion of the alar tissue to decrease the width and volume of the nostrils, adjusting the proportional relationship between the alae, nasal tip, and nasal bridge, thereby achieving a narrower alar appearance and improving the overall nasal aesthetics.

Generally, it is recommended to wait at least 3 to 6 months after undergoing alar base reduction surgery before considering any additional nasal procedures. Alar base reduction surgery involves removing part of the alar tissue to reduce the width and volume of the nostrils, adjusting the proportional relationship between the alae, nasal tip, and bridge, thereby achieving a more refined and aesthetically pleasing nasal appearance. The typical reference price for alar base reduction surgery ranges from 3,000 to 15,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement is usually observed within 1 to 3 months, although patients may experience temporary symptoms such as localized redness, swelling, and warmth. Detailed explanation is as follows:

Alar base reduction surgery causes certain trauma to nasal tissues, requiring a recovery and stabilization period afterward. During the first 1 to 3 months post-surgery, the nose undergoes tissue repair and swelling reduction. Performing another surgery at this stage may exacerbate tissue damage and potentially lead to complications such as infection or hypertrophic scarring. After 3 to 6 months, nasal tissues are mostly healed and normalized, making subsequent surgery safer and more predictable in terms of outcomes. However, if complications such as infection or delayed healing occur after surgery, the timing for any additional procedures should be further postponed, potentially beyond 6 months or even longer.

It is recommended to visit a qualified hospital and follow the guidance of experienced physicians to ensure the safety and reliability of the procedure. Postoperative care should include protecting the nose from external impacts or trauma.

It is recommended to regularly clean the nasal skin to prevent the accumulation of oil and dirt, which can help reduce the risk of inflammation and infection in the alar region. Additionally, maintaining proper breathing techniques and breathing primarily through the nose may help minimize adverse effects on the nostrils.
