Transcript edited for clarity
Alarplasty focuses on selected nasal-base concerns involving nostril width, alar flare, or the nostril floor. Rhinoplasty can address a broader combination of bridge, tip, support, and breathing concerns. A wide-looking nose does not always come from the nostrils alone. Front, profile, base, and three-quarter assessment helps determine whether a focused alar procedure or a broader rhinoplasty plan is appropriate.
