Q: I’m Asian. My nose is small with a wide base. How much will a nostril reduction cost, and how long is healing time?

A: After alar base reduction surgery you will have sutures along the incision lines that remain in place for a week.  After the sutures are removed, typically the incision lines will need another week or so to be fully approximated and not appear “raw”.  Make-up may also be worn 2 weeks after surgery – so most patient will take 10-14 days off of work or school to recover.
