Alar Base Reduction Surgery

Alar base reduction, also known as nostril reduction surgery, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the width of the nostrils and the base of the nose. This surgery is a key component of rhinoplasty (nose job) but can also be performed as a standalone procedure. Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Eric Cerrati in Salt Lake City uses this advanced procedure to create a more balanced and proportional nasal appearance, enhancing the overall facial harmony.

Are You an Ideal Candidate? Signs to Consider

This procedure might be ideal for you if:

  • You feel that your nostrils are too wide or flared.
  • There is an asymmetry between your nostrils.
  • The base of your nose disproportionately affects your facial balance.
  • You are in good overall health with realistic expectations.

An in-depth consultation with Dr. Cerrati will help determine if this surgery is suitable for your specific needs and aesthetic goals.

Dr. Cerrati and his entire staff have created a unique, upbeat and healing environment to explore any facial plastic work you may be considering. I literally can't say enough. I was actually very nervous about this kind of work and super pain averse and just had a facelift, upper and lower bleph and neck work. Dr. Cerrati is so calm and doesn't pressure you at all. He is a master surgeon and the most meticulous. His heart and kindness shine through and he cares very much about his patients - even giving me his own personal mobile number for any questions or concerns post surgery. I was terrified to try this and Dr. Cerrati and his staff made me feel comfortable trusting in their care and expertise. He is a world class professional and there is no one else I would recommend you visit for facial plastic and med spa services. I am now one month post surgery and very excited about the results. Don't hesitate to book an informational visit with Dr. Cerrati and his team. They are lovely and I promise, you won't regret it! PS. I would give 10 stars instead of 5! :)

The Best Surgeon in Utah and top 3 in the US. Doctor Cerrati and his team are amazing. I was blown away with each on of his staff. Amy is so kind and helpful. Maddy who is upbeat and always helped me with the next steps in my surgery and injections. Haley who walked me through the entire process beginning to end and made she I was taken care of always. Maria the sweetheart nurse with immense knowledge and calm confidence always made me feel so safe. I have no idea how you get the best team and surgeon in one office but…wow. I am so impressed with my results and love each of them for making this experience amazing. The results speak for themselves. Dr. Cerrati is a true artist. He and his team have changed my life!

I cannot recommend Dr. Cerrati highly enough for the exceptional work he did on my brow lift and rhinoplasty. His talent and skill are truly remarkable, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results. The entire process was seamless—I experienced no pain or bruising, and my recovery was incredibly smooth and stress-free. Dr. Cerrati and his staff are the epitome of professionalism, providing five-star care that made me feel confident and supported every step of the way. If you’re looking for a top-tier surgeon and team, Dr. Cerrati is the cream of the crop! Love Haley and the all the ladies, when you walk into their Beautiful, clean office everyone has bright smiles, and a fabulous energy that makes you feel welcomed and comfortable. Best experience!

I just want to say I absolutely LOVE Dr. Cerrati! He is the kindest doctor I’ve ever had. He is also the most talented doctor I’ve ever known. I am still in awe of the work he did on me. I see a lot of people everyday in my line of work, and not a day goes by that I don’t have at least 5-6 people asking me what I have done to my face and how do I look so much younger. I am extremely happy with Dr. Cerrati’s work on me. I have women in my office that go to what they claim are “the best” plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills and pay up to $150,000 for a facelift. Not only do my results surpass the quality of these “top” Beverly Hill surgeons, Dr. Cerrati exceeded my expectations. To say I am very happy with his work is an understatement. Everything from the first appointment throughout the entire process has been smooth, comfortable and surprisingly easy. It really has all been so seamless - including his office staff. They are all so wonderful and helpful. I would give them all a 5 star rating as well.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr Cerrati — truly an incredibly talented, kind, and exceptional surgeon. From start to finish, I felt completely safe, comfortable, and confident in his care. His skill and expertise are unmatched — a true 5-star experience. His entire staff is equally amazing — professional, compassionate, and top-notch in every way. Always greated with beautiful warm smiles! They made every step of the process incredibly easy, providing warm, personalized attention and creating a smooth, stress-free experience. If you are looking for the very best and i mean the absolute best — someone who is not only extraordinarily competent and skilled but also caring and genuine — look no further. Dr. Cerrati and his entire team are simply outstanding.
