Alarplasty

Alarplasty (or, less commonly, alaplasty) is a plastic surgery procedure in which a wedge of the wing of the nose is removed in order to alter the shape of the nostrils.^[1]^[2] Alarplasty may be used to increase or decrease the width of the nostrils, for either cosmetic or functional reasons.^[3]^[4] In humans it may also make the nose perceptibly narrower.^[3]

Temporary swelling is a common consequence of alarplasty.^[3]
