Alarplasty or Nose Trimming is a cosmetic surgery procedure that reduces wide nostrils and flaring by removing excess skin from the affected areas of the nose..

Rhinoplasty or a "nose job" is a surgical procedure that corrects and reconstructs the form, restores function, and aesthetically improves the nose -- where abnormalities may be caused by trauma, a congenital defect, or a failed previous surgery.

Closed Rhinoplasty is an approach where Rhinoplasty is performed exclusively within the nose, leaving the skin that divides the nostrils untouched.

The nose, being at the center ofthe face, can become the focal point of interest when facing people.  As the nose can come in different shapes andsizes and looks, it is but natural to be one of the top procedures, if not thetop aesthetic/cosmetic procedure that is asked for from plastic surgeons. Rhinoplasty or nose job canwidely range from:  making the tip ofyour nose pointy in a Tip Plasty procedure  or smaller, by trimming the wings of aseemingly wide nose with Alar Trimming; to building up a patient’s nose bridge,usually with a Malay nose and some Asian noses, at the same time that a tip plastyand alar trimming is done. A dermabrasion procedure with skin grafting, priorto further contouring the nose in patients with Rhinophyma, multiple lumps onthe nose brought about by the build up of oil glands deep underneath the skinof the nose.
