There are two prerequisites for nose surgery: for medical reasons or for aesthetic reasons.
This type of rhinoplasty as a correction of the size and shape of the nostrils is performed only for aesthetic reasons.
Continuing the lateral surfaces of the nose, the lower wings restrict the outer openings of the nostrils.
Adjusting only the shape of the nostrils can sometimes perfectly improve the appearance of the entire nose.
Reasons for adjusting the shape and size of the nostrils
Indications for surgery can be:
- too long wings of the nose;
- wide wings;
- nostrils of various sizes;
- narrow wings of the nose;
- thick nostrils;
- large wings of the nose;
- wings of the nose that sink.
Performing surgery for plastic surgery of the wings of the nose
The method of performing the operation to correct the wings of the nose depends on the individual characteristics of the person. The surgeon will choose the most suitable option for you.
- Reduction of the wings of the nose - the plastic surgeon makes small incisions on the side, removes excess tissue and sutures the edges. The scars are invisible and quickly disappear.
- Narrowing of the nostrils - the area of the colomella (between the nostrils) is sutured, thus narrowing the width of the wings of the nose.
- Nostril retraction - for this operation it is necessary to transplant tissue from the nasal septum or from the eardrum.
In general, plastic surgery of the wings of the nose is performed together with general rhinoplasty. At the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon will evaluate the proposed intervention in terms of scope.
Contraindications to surgery
Patients must be 18 years of age or older.
For various diseases:
- diseases of the internal organs;
- viral infections;
- diabetes;
- oncological diseases;
- problems with blood clotting (and other blood diseases).
Also, plastic surgery of the wings of the nose is contraindicated in patients with mental illness, somatic diseases in the stage of decompensation or exacerbation.
Rehabilitation after plastic surgery of the nostrils
At the end of the operation, the doctor puts tampons in the nose and applies a fixative plaster bandage. Then the patient can go home, but if desired and the doctor's recommendation remains in the hospital. One week later, the cosmetic sutures are removed, followed by consultation with a specialist.
The scar from the operation disappears after 1-2 months. It is recommended that patients do not stay long in the sun, avoid physical activity and give up the sauna (bath) for a month.
Correction of the wings of the nose without surgery
In some clinics, in the presence of small defects, correction is possible without surgical manipulations. Changing the shape and size of the nostrils is done with 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 lack of rehabilitation period. In addition, no scars or scars with fillers remain after the procedure.
The advantage of non-surgical correction of the nostrils is the lack of a rehabilitation period and the lack of a rehabilitation period. In addition, no scars or scars with fillers remain after the procedure.
Nonoperative nasal shaping is performed under local anesthesia.
For most people, imperfections related to the shape and size of the wings of the nose do not interfere with life, but there are those who do everything possible to correct the mistakes of nature. In today's world, people who strive to bring their appearance closer to perfection will always find some flaws. Therefore, there is plastic surgery. Rhinoplasty will help to correct various defects in the wings of the nose and the nose in general.
