Is rhinoplasty painful?

The beauty of the nose is closely related to the beauty of our face. I believe that all female friends want an exquisite nose, but there are also many women who are troubled by the problem of enlarged or wide nose. At this time, they need to solve this problem through wing reduction surgery, but some friends worry that it will be painful. So, will wing reduction surgery be painful? Let’s take a brief look at it!

When performing alar reduction surgery, the choice of incision is very important, as it affects whether the surgery is painful or not.

For those with enlarged nose tip, during surgery, a "V"-shaped skin incision is usually made along the front edge of the lateral and medial crus of the alar cartilage at the edge of the nostril, and the nasal cartilage is sharply separated through the incision. The incision is retracted during surgery and a small retractor is used to pull the alar cartilage as far out of the incision as possible, and the fat tissue on the surface of the cartilage is cut off. Then most of the upper and outer parts of the cartilage are removed, leaving only an "L"-shaped cartilage in the center and on the edges.

For those whose nose wings are too wide or too thick, during treatment, the surgeon will make a skin incision on the edge of the nostril along the front edge of the outer crus of the alar cartilage. The skin will be secretly separated from the alar cartilage underneath with small scissors through the incision. The incision will be retracted and the alar cartilage will be pulled as far as possible out of the incision with a small hook. The soft tissue on the surface of the cartilage will be cut off, and then the upper and outer parts of the cartilage will be removed.

Those who have enlarged nose wings, excessively flared nose wings, and other unsightly appearances such as enlarged nostrils can try to reduce the nose wings. When performing surgery, there are two main surgical methods clinically: one is to perform cartilage transplantation at the nose tip, and the other is to reduce the size of the nose when the nose is enlarged or the nostrils are too large.

Then, a diamond-shaped piece of vestibular skin and nasal mucosa is removed inside the nostril on the inner side of the base of the ala nasi. If the nose wings are thick, the excess fat tissue can be removed through the incision using small scissors.

Through the introduction above, I believe everyone has a detailed understanding of nose reduction surgery. Although nose reduction surgery can solve the problem of large nose wings very well, it also has certain risks. Therefore, in daily life, female friends must think about whether it is better to have this surgery.
