Alarplasty


Alarplasty Abu Dhabi - Dubai

Alarplasty, also known as alar base reduction, is a surgical procedure performed on the nose to alter the width of the nostrils. While I can provide general information about Alarplasty, I'm unable to provide real-time information or specific recommendations for medical procedures in specific locations beyond my knowledge cutoff in September 2021.


Dubai, the largest city in the United Arab Emirates, is known for its advanced healthcare system and numerous medical facilities. If you're considering Alarplasty in Dubai, I recommend conducting further research to find a reputable plastic surgeon or a specialized clinic that offers this procedure.


Here are some general steps to follow when considering any medical procedure:


  1. 1.  Research and gather information: Look for reputable clinics or plastic surgeons in Dubai who specialize in rhinoplasty or facial plastic surgery. Check their credentials, experience, and reviews from previous patients. Make sure they are licensed and have a good reputation.
  2. 2.  Consultation: Schedule a consultation appointment with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and concerns. During the consultation, the surgeon will evaluate your nose structure, discuss your expectations, and determine if Alarplasty is suitable for you. They will also provide you with information about the procedure, potential risks, and recovery process.
  3. 3.  Cost and insurance: Inquire about the cost of the procedure, as well as any additional fees such as pre-operative tests, post-operative care, and follow-up appointments. Check with your insurance provider if they cover any portion of the procedure cost.
  4. 4.  Preparing for the procedure: If you decide to proceed with Alarplasty, your surgeon will provide you with pre-operative instructions. This may include avoiding certain medications, quitting smoking if you're a smoker, and discussing any potential allergies or medical conditions.
  5. 5.  The procedure: Alarplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, depending on the surgeon's recommendation. During the procedure, the surgeon will make small incisions at the base of the nostrils to remove excess tissue and reshape the nostrils to achieve the desired width.
  6. 6.  Recovery: After the surgery, you'll be given post-operative instructions on how to care for your nose and manage any discomfort. Recovery time varies from person to person, but typically you can expect some swelling and bruising that will gradually subside over a few weeks.

Remember, it's crucial to consult with a qualified medical professional in Dubai who can assess your specific case and provide personalized advice. They will be able to give you accurate and up-to-date information regarding Alarplasty, including the availability of the procedure and any local regulations or guidelines.
