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, from below, the wings limit the external openings of the nostrils.
Correcting just the shape of the nostrils can sometimes perfectly improve the look of the entire nose.
Reasons to correct the shape and size of the nostrils
Indications for surgery can be:
- too long nose wings;
- wide wings;
- nostrils of various sizes;
- narrow wings of the nose;
- thick nostrils;
- large wings of the nose;
- sinking nose wings.
Performing surgery for plastic surgery of the wings of the nose
The method of carrying out the operation to correct the wings of the nose depends on the individual characteristics of the person. The surgeon will select the option that suits you best.
- Reduction of the wings of the nose: the plastic surgeon makes small incisions on the sides, removes excess tissue and sutures the edges. The scars are invisible and disappear quickly.
- Narrowing of the nostrils: The area of the columella (between the nostrils) is sutured, thereby narrowing the width of the wings of the nose.
- Retraction of the nostrils: for this operation it is necessary to transplant the tissue from the nasal septum or the auricle.
Basically, nose wing plastic surgery is performed in conjunction 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 at least 18 years of age.
For various diseases:
- diseases of the internal organs;
- viral infection;
- diabetes;
- oncological diseases;
- blood clotting problems (and other blood diseases).
In addition, plastic surgery of the wings of the nose is contraindicated in patients with mental illness, somatic diseases in the phase of decompensation or exacerbation.
Rehabilitation after plastic surgery of the nostrils
At the end of the operation, the doctor inserts tampons into the nose and applies a fixing plaster bandage. After that, the patient could go home, but if desired and the doctor's recommendation remains in the hospital. A week later, the cosmetic spots are removed, followed by a specialist consultation.
The scar from the operation disappears after 1-2 months. Patients are advised not to stay in the sun for a long time, avoid physical activity and refuse 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 occurs with the use of fillers. The composition of the fillers is completely harmless to the human body. The advantage of this method are immediate results and no rehabilitation period. Also, after the procedure, no scars or filler scars remain.
The advantage of non-surgical correction of the nostrils is the absence of a rehabilitation period and the absence of a rehabilitation period. Also, after the procedure, no scars or filler scars remain.
Non-surgical nose reshaping is performed under local anesthesia.
For most people, the imperfections associated with the shape and size of the nose wings do not interfere with life, but there are those who do their best to correct the mistakes of nature. In the modern world, people, who strive to bring their appearance closer to perfection, will always find some flaws. Therefore, there is plastic surgery. Rhinoplasty will help correct various defects of the wings of the nose and nose in general.
