I went to get lip tattooing done and learned about a surgery called an alar lift. Since I happened to be dissatisfied with the shape of my nasal tip, I looked closely at before-and-after photos, and Dr. Han Jun seemed very skilled, so I ended up booking the surgery. The surgery was so simple that it was over almost disappointingly quickly. (I had it done under sedation anesthesia.) There was no pain after surgery either. There isn’t a dramatic change, so acquaintances don’t notice it, but personally I’m satisfied because the line looks well refined, and I do wonder if it would have been even better if I had also done alar base reduction. Looking at the photos, how should I put it... it feels a bit like a baby tiger. The impression is definitely different. (Even if I’m the only one who knows.) Since subjective satisfaction is important in plastic surgery, I have no regrets. Alar lift seems like a new type of surgery (I learned about it for the first time), and after understanding this concept, I can now see the nose shapes of people around me more clearly. I wish I had known about it earlier. I recommend it to people whose lower ends of the alae sit lower than the columella, but who worry that lowering the columella might make them look older.
