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 restrict the external openings of the nostrils.
Correcting the shape of the nostrils alone can sometimes perfectly improve the appearance of the entire nose.
Reasons for correcting the shape and size of the nostrils
Indications for surgery may be:
- very long wings of the nose;
- wide wings;
- nose holes of different sizes;
- narrow wings of the nose;
- thick nostrils;
- large nasal wings;
- sinking nasal wings.
Performing surgery for plastic surgery of the nasal wings
The method of performing the operation to correct the wings of the nose depends on the individual characteristics of the person. The surgeon will choose the option that suits you best.
- Reduction of the wings of the nose - the plastic surgeon makes small incisions in the sides, removes excess tissue and sutures the edges. The marks are invisible and go away quickly.
- Narrowing of the nostrils - the columella area (between the nostrils) is sutured, thus narrowing the width of the wings of the nose.
- Removal of the nostrils - for this operation, it is necessary to transplant tissue from the nasal septum or from the ear.
Basically, nasal wing plastic surgery is done in conjunction with general rhinoplasty. At the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon will evaluate the proposed intervention in terms of the field.
Contraindications to surgery
Patients must be 18 years of age or older.
For different diseases:
- diseases of the internal organs;

Also, plastic surgery of the nasal wings is contraindicated in patients with mental illness, somatic disease in the stage of decompensation or deterioration.
Rehabilitation after plastic surgery of the nostrils
At the end of the operation, the doctor inserts tampons into the nose and applies a fixative plaster bandage. After that, the patient can go home, but if you want and the doctor's recommendation remains in the hospital. A week later, the cosmetic sutures are removed, followed by a specialist consultation.
The scar from the operation disappears after 1-2 months. It is advisable for patients not to stay in the sun for a long time, to avoid physical activity and to refuse from the sauna (bath) for a month.
Correction of nasal wings without surgery
In some clinics, in the presence of minor defects, correction is possible without surgical manipulations. Changing the shape and size of the nostrils occurs with the use of fillers. The composition of fillers is completely harmless to the human body. The advantage of this method is the immediate results and no rehabilitation period. In addition, after the procedure, no scars or wounds remain with the fillers.
The advantage of non-surgical correction of the nostrils is the absence of a rehabilitation period and the absence of a rehabilitation period. In addition, after the procedure, no scars or wounds remain with the fillers.
Non-surgical nose remodeling is performed under local anesthesia.
For most people, imperfections related to the shape and size of the wings of the nose do not interfere with life, but there are those who do their best to correct the mistakes of nature. In the modern world, people, trying to bring their appearance closer to perfection, will always find some flaws. Therefore, there is plastic surgery. Rhinoplasty will help correct various defects in the wings of the nose and nose in general.
