Whether nasal alar widening occurs after hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty depends on multiple factors. Over-injection, improper technique, or using an inappropriate type of hyaluronic acid may lead to alar widening. Additionally, poor baseline nasal structure or long-term irregular injections may also increase the risk of alar widening. Therefore, when undergoing hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty, it is essential to choose an experienced physician who can ensure appropriate injection volume, correct injection depth, and suitable hyaluronic acid product selection to prevent adverse outcomes such as alar widening.
