Alectomy is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to reduce the width of the nostrils, i.e., to reduce the size of the nasal wings. This surgery is recommended for patients who wish to improve the nasal contour and facial harmony, correcting unwanted characteristics in the nostrils, such as excessive width or projection of the nasal wings.

 

Alectomy can be performed alone or in combination with other rhinoplasty procedures, aiming to provide a more harmonious aesthetic result for the face. The technique is especially sought after by people who want a thinner, more symmetrical nose that is in proportion to the other facial features.

 

The main benefit of a nose job is the reduction in the width of the nostrils, providing a more symmetrical and proportional contour to the nose and the face as a whole. This helps to improve facial harmony, especially in patients with very wide nostrils.
