What is the simplest and most effective way to reduce the size of the nostrils?

Many people's facial features look good, but often due to factors in certain parts, their facial features are affected. The most common one is the nostrils. Many people often have bad habits, and their nostrils are naturally large, which will affect their facial features. Therefore, it is very important to reduce the nostrils in normal times. Before reducing the nostrils, it is necessary to judge based on the patient's nostril type, which is generally divided into simple, pathological, and other factors.

1. What are the methods?

People with simply enlarged nostrils

When planning the line before rhinoplasty, only an arc-shaped incision is made along the outer side of the nose and the base of the nose to the side of the columella on one side to form a skin flap, fully loosening the tissues of the bottom of the nose and the bottom of the nose.

Part of the tissue can be removed according to the actual cosmetic effect, and then the columella and skin flap, nasal base and outer side of the nose wing can be sutured intermittently. This method can also remove part of the bottom tissue of the nostril in the nasal cavity as needed.

Nostrils too big

For patients with upturned nose and enlarged nose wings, part of the nose wing tissue needs to be removed according to the enlarged part of the nose wing when setting the planning line before surgery. Generally, the part of the enlarged nose wing is removed in an arc shape along the shape of the nose wing, and then a flap is formed according to the previous nostril reduction surgery method. After loosening the tissue at the bottom of the nose and the wing, part of the tissue is removed and sutured with the columella.

Before suturing, if there is a protruding nose that needs to be corrected, the sutures on the outside of the nose are staggered, and the lowest point of the bottom of the nose is sutured with the outer tissue to achieve the purpose of lifting the nose to correct the protrusion and make the nose and columella in a straight line, which is in line with the normal relationship of the nose bottom.

2. Preoperative Preparation

1. Do not take medications containing aspirin within two weeks before nostril reduction surgery, because aspirin can reduce the function of platelet coagulation.

2. Patients with hypertension and diabetes should inform their doctor of their condition during the initial consultation so that the doctor can confirm the rhinoplasty plan.

3. Before the operation, make sure you are in good health and have no infectious diseases or other body inflammations.

4. Do not wear makeup before the operation.

3. Postoperative Care

Postoperative Care

1. After the nostril reduction surgery, it is strictly forbidden to touch the surgical incision with your hands and avoid getting the incision wet.

2. After nostril reduction surgery, local swelling will occur. In this case, the patient can apply ice to reduce the swelling under the guidance of an expert.

3. After the nostril reduction surgery, try to reduce activities as much as possible to avoid touching the surgical site. The sutures inside the nose will be removed in 5-7 days.

4. Smoking is strictly prohibited 2 weeks after nose reduction surgery.

5. Avoid exposure to the sun and violent impact for two months after nostril reduction surgery.

6. A very small number of patients may experience implant rejection (swelling that does not subside within three weeks and yellow liquid flowing out of the incision). In this case, go to the hospital immediately to have the implant removed.

7. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
