There are two requirements for a nose operation: for medical reasons or for aesthetic reasons.
This type of rhinoplasty as a correction of the size and shape of the nostrils is only performed for aesthetic reasons.
Continuing the side surfaces of the nose from below, the wings delimit the outer openings of the nostrils.
Correcting just the shape of the nostrils can sometimes improve the appearance of the entire nose perfectly.
Reasons for correcting the shape and size of the nostrils
Indications for an operation can be:
- too long nostrils;
- broad wings;
- Nostrils of various sizes;
- narrow nostrils;
- thick nostrils;
- large nostrils;
- Nostrils that droop.
Performing operations for plastic surgery of the nostrils
The method of performing the operation to correct the alar of the nose depends on the individual characteristics of the person. The surgeon will choose the option that suits you best.
- Shrinking the alar of the nose - the plastic surgeon will make small incisions on the sides, remove excess tissue, and sew up the edges. Scars are invisible and quickly disappear.
- Narrowing of the nostrils - The area of the columella (between the nostrils) is sutured, which narrows the width of the nostrils.
- Retraction of the nostrils - for this operation it is necessary to transplant tissue from the nasal septum or from the auricle.
Basically, plastic surgery of the nostrils is carried out in conjunction with a general rhinoplasty. At the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon will assess the scope of the proposed procedure.
Contraindications to surgery
Patients must be at least 18 years old.
With various diseases:
- Diseases of internal organs;
- Viral infections;
- Diabetes mellitus;
- oncological diseases;
- Blood clotting problems (and other blood disorders).
Plastic surgery of the nostrils is also contraindicated in patients with mental illness, somatic diseases in the decompensation or exacerbation stage.
Rehabilitation after plastic surgery of the nostrils
At the end of the operation, the doctor inserts tampons into the nose and puts on a plaster cast. After that, the patient can go home safely, but remains in the hospital if requested and recommended by a doctor. A week later, the cosmetic threads are removed, followed by specialist advice.
The scar from the operation will go away in 1-2 months. It is advisable that patients do not stay in the sun for a long time, avoid physical activity and avoid the sauna (bath) for a month.
Correction of the nostrils without surgery
In some clinics, minor defects can be corrected without surgical intervention. The change in the shape and size of the nostrils is done through the use of fillers. The composition of the fillers is completely harmless to the human body. The advantage of this method is immediate results and no rehabilitation period. In addition, no scars or scars with fillers remain after the procedure.
The advantage of nonsurgical correction of the nostrils is the lack of a rehabilitation period and the absence of a rehabilitation period. In addition, no scars or scars with fillers remain after the procedure.
The nonsurgical rhinoplasty is performed under local anesthesia.
For most people, imperfections associated with the shape and size of the nostrils do not disturb life, but there are those who do their best to correct nature's faults. In the modern world, people who want their looks closer to perfection will always find some flaws. Hence there is plastic surgery. Rhinoplasty helps correct various defects in the ala of the nose and nose in general.
