deeepesd Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Has anyone heard or have gotten this done? Laprin claims it can narrow the base of your nose significantly using this method. I just don't like how they use general anesthesia for this surgery.
helloyou0116 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Here is what it stated on Laprin’s website: “Laprin, with its original surgical method, does not make excision to the outside. It makes a micro-excision 1,2 mm inside nose hole, through which periosteum and ligament connected to wide nose alar is exfoliated and relocated. Therefore, it is different from nose alar reduction that simply makes excisions and shows a definite reduction without a scar as it is more of relocating nose alar toward inside.” Laprin no-scar nose alar relocation Excistion site: 1~2mm micro excision to the interior of nose which cannot be seen from outside Anesthesia: General anesthesia Surgery Duration: 20~30 min Scar: none
helloyou0116 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 To me it sounds like a different name for Internal Alar Reduction or Sill Excision. The doctor will excise skin from the floor of the nostrils. As you noticed on Laprin website, this technique can only reduce 1 to 2mm from the inside of your nose. There is limited space inside of your nose that’s why this technique is very limited. That mean it’s not going to reduce nostrils by much, if you have wide nostrils this is a great additional technique on top of the external cut from the outside. This technique alone won’t solve your problem. This technique is only for people who needs just a little bit of excision to reduce the flare of their nostrils. And yes, there won’t be no visible scar since it will be cut from the inside. And, there must be another confusion to general anesthesia part. Why would anyone use general anesthesia for a 20 to 30 minutes procedure? I think they meant IV Sedation or Local Anesthesia. General Anesthesia is use for major surgery such as facial contouring. I can’t see them using it only just for this procedure. Overall, Laprin no scar nose alar relocation is just another name for Internal Alar Reduction or Sill Excision. It’s just the same technique practice at most clinics. I hope this help!http://laprin.imhostings.co.kr/sub/eye_nose_surgery/eye_nose_surgery_06.html
erichyung Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 ....... It's a 1-2 mm incision site (scar) inside the nose. If you look at their table it says 5-7mm definite reduction. Doesn't seem like sill excision either, looks like that cinch method where they pull the nostrils from the inside. I called them and they said it's sedation only not general, and that the Korean site is the most updated.
helloyou0116 Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 Thank you for calling for us, Erichyung. You know you could have done this at your clinic right? They have it too. One of the girls I’ve been chatting with she had this done at your clinic. In her case, she had external reduction the first time but her nostrils stretched back in a few months then she went back for the internal method. But, I’m surprised that he didn’t perform any alarplasty on you. Maybe you can ask him when you see him if you’re thinking of doing it in the future. Seriously, this is just another term for Internal Alarplasty reduction. The reason I brought this matter up because many doctors told me Internal Alarplasty are very limited when it comes to reducing the nostrils size. It’s a great additional step but most doctor still recommend External method if you have wide nostrils.
erichyung Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 I like how you are assuming you know for sure which clinic i went to http://laprin.imhostings.co.kr/sub/eye_nose_surgery/eye_nose_surgery_06.html Please scroll down and read the part where they have a table comparing the 3 methods, external , internal, and their in-house method before you say funny things like reduction of 1,2mm of the alar when they are talking about the size of the surgery incision. It says that internal method isn't recommended for thick nasal skin.
helloyou0116 Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 I think it’s pretty easy to figure out which clinic you went too. You made it seem very easy to predict. Yes, I did go back and read dear. Yes, I noticed that 1-2mm is the incision site and 5-7mm is the reduction width. But again, there are many errors on their English website so it’s hard to believe. What I have said before is from my personal experience and what other doctors told me. If you have time, you should ask your doctor and see what he will says then you can tell me. If I have any other news, I’ll let you know for sure.
erichyung Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 my doctor did not recommend the alarplasty for me as i had thicker skin. So I was looking at this one. But it looks super shady.
