To describe a safe technique for alar base reduction, by resecting the skin, thus reducing the inter-alar distance and enhancing nasal harmony within the face. Case Details: Surgical techniques have evolved considerably over the years, and the same could be said about Alectomy, which aims at reducing the width of the alar base. The main objective was to present the result of a clinical case of Alectomy performed using the Alecgrama®️ technique (diagram of the reduction of the nasal wings without compromising the aesthetics and function of the nose), creating a more harmonious profile for the patient. The methodology applied consisted of a detailed description of the clinical case, wherein the procedure itself was performed with almost no risk, with the benefits of indirectly contributing to a group of individuals who are in the same situation. Aspects not yet observed in the literature were addressed. A Bibliographic methodology was used, as well as a review of the relevant literature based on MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, and SciELO searches. Conclusion: The surgical technique of Alecgrama®️ proved to be effective in meeting the objectives of the surgery and the patient's requests. Nasal reconstruction through alar base reduction, using an appropriate and minimally invasive procedure, met expectations and was consistent with the functional and aesthetic result, showed proper healing and no inflammation process, despite the complexity of the nasal structure.
