We use the term ala ptosis to describe a condition in which the nostril sidewall is bulbous with overhanging of the alar margin. This hides the columella from view, especially in profile. The management of ala ptosis in Oriental rhinoplasty is done in two steps, i.e., to reduce the bulbous nostril sidewall by manipulating the alar cartilage and to reduce the alar margin to a gentle, graceful curve by means of selective rim excision after wide undermining of the ala. The definitive alar margin runs more or less parallel to the white roll of the upper lip.
我们使用“鼻翼下垂”一词来描述一种鼻孔侧壁呈球根状且鼻翼边缘悬垂的情况。这会使鼻小柱被遮挡而看不见，尤其是从侧面看时。在东方人鼻整形术中，鼻翼下垂的处理分两步进行，即通过操作鼻翼软骨来减小球根状的鼻孔侧壁，并在对鼻翼进行广泛剥离后，通过选择性边缘切除将鼻翼边缘修整成柔和优美的曲线。最终的鼻翼边缘大致与上唇的白唇线平行。
