Featured Case
An alar base reduction example focused on proportion rather than obvious change.
This case highlights how subtle changes at the nostril base can influence overall nasal proportion when they are planned in the context of the whole face.
- Representative alar base refinement
- Before-and-after nasal balance view
- Useful for proportion conversations

Alar Base Reduction
Before-and-after photography provides context, but the consultation still clarifies anatomy, healing, and what is realistic for the individual patient.

Case Notes
A before-and-after example centered on proportion, restraint, and the lower third of the nose.
This case helps patients see how targeted nasal refinement can stay subtle while still changing the read of the face.
Alar base reduction is rarely about making the nose look dramatically different. More often, it is about refining width, softening imbalance, and improving how the nostril base relates to the rest of the nose and face.
That is why this example is useful only as context. The real planning conversation still depends on anatomy, scar tolerance, facial proportion, and whether the nostril base should be addressed alone or as part of a fuller rhinoplasty strategy.

Dr. Minehart performed Botox injections on my face for my wrinkles and I am very pleased with the results. I will definitely be coming back to see her and the team.

Patients remember the tone of the experience as much as the result.
The strongest comments speak to calm communication, professionalism, and confidence in the process.
What This Case Helps Show
What this alar base reduction example helps clarify.
This type of case is best understood as a proportion study, not as a one-size-fits-all endpoint for nostril shape.
Consultation
Use the gallery as context, then plan the next step personally.
Before-and-after examples are most useful when they lead into an honest conversation about fit, limitations, and timing.
- Representative photography only
- Individual anatomy, healing, and procedure planning still require consultation
