Alar Retraction Surgery

Alar retraction is a medical term for when there is an undesirable elevation of the nostril edge which results in excessive nostril show on frontal and side views.  Typically the edge of the nostril is visually too high and can look irregular, too highly arced or otherwise distorted.

Most often alar retraction causes the creation of an abnormal arc of the nostril which can cause an unpleasing view of the nose in general.

Fortunately there are many surgical options for patients to have their alar retraction corrected

There are a range of conditions that can cause alar retraction. One of the most common causes of alar retraction is having a previous cosmetic rhinoplasty. While having had a previous nose job (rhinoplasty) is by far the most common cause of alar retraction, there are other causes such as trauma to the nose, dog bites to the nose, and skin cancers of the nose and nostril area.
