[Nose Surgery] Let Me Tell You the Secret of Nostril Reduction!

April 31 Plastic Surgery - Nostril Reduction Surgery

No matter how high and defined

and how beautiful the line of the nose is,

the overall completeness of the nose can change depending on the shape of the nostrils.

So, what exactly is nostril reduction surgery?

Let’s take some time to explain the secret of nostril reduction.

What is nostril reduction surgery?

First of all, nostril reduction surgery is

not a difficult or complicated procedure.

In nose surgery, even if the shape of the nose,

angle, and height are all complete,

you can think of it as a final option.

When creating a well-balanced nose shape,

nostril reduction surgery can play a more important role.

Nostril reduction surgery is a simple but

important procedure that finishes the shape of the nose.

Surgical methods according to the type of nostrils

Types of nostrils

There are various types of nostrils.

1. When the nostrils are wide

2. When the nostril tissue itself is thick

3. When the entire nose is spread out and wide

Types of nostrils

Alar retraction type

There are also forms in which the nostrils appear in the form of alar retraction.

However, those are not things that can be solved simply with nostril reduction alone.

A nose with alar retraction is improved by creating a new shape through alar remodeling.

When the nostrils are wide and spread out

When the nostrils are spread out,

raising the tip of the nose or making it more defined can have the effect of reducing the spread of the nasal tip a little.

So if the nose is spread out like that,

you do not need to think too deeply about nostril reduction.

If you think that the nostrils are simply too wide horizontally,

a method that reduces them from the inside of the nostrils is chosen.

When there is excess nostril tissue

For people whose alar tissue or nostril tissue itself is thick,

an external incision that reduces the thick tissue from the outside of the nostrils

may also be used.

When the nostrils are wide + there is excess nostril tissue

For people who have both types,

with wide nostrils horizontally and thick tissue,

the internal incision and external incision are connected to reduce the nostrils,

and if surgery is performed including both the internal incision, which reduces the thick part of the nostril tissue,

and the external incision,

a desirable alar and nostril shape can be created.

After nostril reduction surgery,

are the scars not very noticeable?

The majority of people considering nostril reduction surgery are worried about 'scarring.'

Scarring from nostril reduction surgery

To put it simply,

it can be said to be similar to the scar from a columella incision.

Usually, where the incision is made is important,

and

an incision should be made about 1 mm above what we usually call the groove so that the scar itself does not become raised or thickened.

By making the incision about 1 mm above the groove,

scarring is reduced, and of course, like the scar from a columella incision,

there may be a little redness for about 2-3 months and it may look as if there is a scar,

but after 3 months following nostril reduction surgery, the scar fades to the point that it is not noticeable.
