What are the methods to reduce the size of the nose during rhinoplasty?

Many women who love beauty have many requirements for their faces. If the nose bridge is too high or the nose wings are too large, it will affect the overall beauty. Therefore, many women will consider using nose wing reduction surgery to improve it. However, rhinoplasty and nose wing reduction surgery is not suitable for everyone. The following editor will introduce the surgical method of proportional reduction and the applicable objects.

Three ways to reduce the size of your nose.

1. Nose reduction surgery

Alar reduction surgery is the most common rhinoplasty procedure. For those who have wide noses, alar reduction surgery is needed to make the entire nose smaller. When the nose is not too wide, you can choose to insert an auxiliary column into the columella and perform cartilage transplantation on the nose tip. If the nose tip is raised, the width of the nose will be reduced and no other surgery will be needed. Therefore, whether or not the nose wing needs to be reduced must be determined based on the postoperative results after the nose tip erection surgery.

2. Alar resection

Alar resection is mainly suitable for those whose nose base is too wide or whose nostrils are too large. When the nose is wide, it is mostly because there is excess skin on the nose. The skin under the nose should be removed and the incision should be sutured to shrink the nose, which can make the nostrils appear longer. The incision can be left at the boundary between the nose and cheek, and the scar is generally not obvious.

3. Nasal retraction surgery

Alar retraction surgery is suitable for those with thick, wide and flat noses. Generally, the lower part of the nose can be removed to narrow the nose, or the thickened base of the nostril can be removed and pulled closer to the middle. Alar retraction will achieve good alar plastic surgery results.

The best age to undergo rhinoplasty

The earliest time to perform alar rhinoplasty is after the development of the external nose is complete. Females can undergo alar rhinoplasty at the age of 13-16, because at the age of 13, girls have begun to care about their appearance, and the nose has not yet become a complete part of people's image. Timely surgery can prevent the formation of deformed image. Males can undergo the procedure later, at the age of 14-18. If the nose tip of an individual patient is large enough and the nostrils are enlarged at the age of 13, nose tip and nostril reduction surgery can be performed in advance. At the age of 13-14, the nose can develop 90% completely. If a nose reduction surgery is performed before this, the surgical trauma will hinder the continued development of the nose.

Of course, nose reduction surgery can be performed at other ages, but the body must be in good health.

Six principles to reduce the risks of nose reduction surgery

1. Before the operation, the coagulation function should be checked routinely. For nose deformity caused by disease and local nasal infection, the disease should be treated first to eliminate the pathogen.

2. To avoid the repaired nose from becoming deformed, the surgery is best performed after the patient reaches adulthood, because repairing it too early will cause the face to lag behind in development.

3. According to the shape and size of the collapsed areas such as the bridge of the nose, insert appropriate fillers, then suture the wound and fix the shape of the nose. Penicillin should be injected after surgery to prevent infection.

4. Sterilization must be strictly enforced during surgery. If there is infection, the filler will become necrotic and fall out.

5. Before inserting the filler, attention should be paid to the separation level and cavity size and symmetry. The cavity formed after separation should be suitable for the placement of the filler and have appropriate tightness.

6. In severe cases of collapsed nose, the skin and soft tissue will shrink upwards. In this case, surgery must be performed in stages. First, the nose must be separated and moved to its normal position, and then a filler is implanted.

Therefore, when a woman wants to have a rhinoplasty, it is best to go to an authoritative plastic surgery hospital for examination. If it is found that she is not suitable for the operation, it is best not to force it. She should also take good care of herself after the operation, try to protect the wound, and reduce the chance of infection. If she finds any discomfort, she should go to the hospital for examination in time.
