There are two prerequisites for nose surgery: for medical reasons or for aesthetic reasons.
This type of rhinoplasty is only to correct the size and shape of the nostrils for aesthetics.
Continuing on the side surface of the nose, from below, the wings limit the outer opening of the nostril.
Correcting only the shape of the nostrils can sometimes perfectly improve the appearance of the entire nose.
Reasons to correct the shape and size of the nostril
Indications for surgery can be:
- The nose is too long;
- Broad wings
- Nostrils of various sizes;
- Narrow nose
- Thick nostrils;
- Big wings of the nose;
- Sinking nose.
Undergoing nasal wing plastic surgery
The method of performing alar correction surgery depends on the individual characteristics of the person. The surgeon will choose the option that suits you best.
- Narrowing the wing of the nose-The plastic surgeon makes small incisions on both sides, removes excess tissue and sutures the edges. The scar is invisible and will disappear soon.
- Narrowing the nostril-the nasal columella area (between the nostrils) is sutured to reduce the width of the nostril.
- Nostril retraction-For this operation, tissue must be transplanted from the nasal septum or auricle.
Basically, rhinoplasty is performed together with general rhinoplasty. At the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon will evaluate the recommended interventions based on the scope.
Surgical contraindications
The patient must be over 18 years old.
For various diseases:
- Visceral diseases;
- Viral infection;
- diabetes;
- Tumor disease
- Blood clotting problems (and other blood diseases).
In addition, rhinoplasty should not be used for patients with mental illness, decompensation or deteriorating physical disease.
Rehabilitation after nostril plastic surgery
At the end of the operation, the doctor inserts a tampon into the nose and uses a fixed plaster bandage. After that, the patient is likely to go home, but if necessary, the doctor’s advice remains in the hospital. One week later, the cosmetic sutures were removed, and then an expert consultation was conducted.
The surgical scar will disappear after 1-2 months. It is recommended that patients do not spend a long time in the sun within a month, avoid physical activity, and refuse sauna (bath).
Correction of the wing of the nose without surgery
In some clinics, if there are minor defects, they can be corrected without surgery. Using fillers will change the shape and size of the nostrils. The composition of the filling is completely harmless to the human body. The advantage of this method is that it is immediate and does not require a recovery period. In addition, the filler will not leave scars or scars after the operation.
The advantage of non-surgical correction of the nostril is that there is no recovery period, and there is no recovery period. In addition, the filler will not leave scars or scars after the operation.
Non-surgical nose surgery is performed under local anesthesia.
For most people, defects related to the shape and size of the nose will not affect their lives, but some people will try to correct natural mistakes. In the modern world, people try to make their appearance closer to perfection, and they always find some flaws. Therefore, there are plastic surgery. Rhinoplasty will help correct various defects of the alar and nose.
