There are two prerequisites for rhinoplasty: medical or aesthetic.
As a correction of the size and shape of the nostrils, such rhinoplasty is performed only for aesthetic reasons.
Continuing to the lateral surfaces of the nose, the lower wings restrict the external openings of the nostrils.
Correcting only the nostrils can sometimes improve the appearance of the whole nose perfectly.
Reasons to correct the shape and size of the nostrils
Tips for surgery may be:
- very long nasal wings;
- broad wings;
- nostrils of various sizes;
- nasal wings;
- thick nostrils;
- large nasal wings;
- sunken nose wings.
Performs surgery for plastic surgery of the nasal wings
The method of correcting the wings of the nose depends on the individual characteristics of the person. The surgeon will choose the one that suits you best.
- Reduction of the nasal wings - the plastic surgeon makes small incisions on the sides, removes excess tissue and sews the edges. Wounds are invisible and disappear quickly.
- Narrowing of the nostrils - the area of the columella (between the nostrils) is built, thereby narrowing the width of the nasal wings.
- Withdrawal of the nostrils - this operation requires the removal of tissue from the nasal septum or auricle.
Generally, plastic surgery of the nasal wings is performed in conjunction with general rhinoplasty. At the first consultation, the plastic surgeon will evaluate the proposed intervention according to its 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;
- blood clotting problems (and other blood diseases).
In addition, plastic surgery of the nasal wings is contraindicated in patients with somatic diseases of the wings, 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 fixing plaster bandage. After that, the patient can go home, but if desired, and the doctor's recommendation remains in the hospital. A week later, cosmetic stitches are removed and specialist consultations are held.
The scar disappears after 1-2 months after the operation. It is recommended that patients do not stay in the sun for long periods of time, refrain from physical activity and refrain from sauna (bath) for a month.
Correction of nasal wings without surgery
In some clinics, small defects can be corrected without surgery. Changing the shape and size of the nostrils occurs with the use of fillers. The composition of fillers is completely harmless to the human body. The advantage of this method is immediate results and no rehabilitation period. In addition, there are no scars or scars on the fillers after the procedure.
The advantage of non-surgical correction of nostrils is the absence of a rehabilitation period and the absence of a rehabilitation period. In addition, there are no scars or scars on the fillers after the procedure.
Non-surgical nasal replacement is performed under local anesthesia.
For most people, defects in the shape and size of the wings of the nose do not interfere with life, but there are those who do their best to correct the mistakes of nature. In today's world, people who try to bring their appearance closer to perfection will always find some flaws. That's why there is plastic surgery. Rhinoplasty will generally help to correct various defects in the nose and nasal wings.
