There are two prerequisites for nose plastic surgery: for medical reasons or for aesthetic reasons.
This type of rhinoplasty as correction of the size and shape of the nostrils is carried out only for reasons of aesthetics.
Continuing the lateral surfaces of the nose, from below, the wings limit the external openings of the nostrils.
Correcting just the shape of the nostrils can sometimes perfectly improve the appearance of the entire nose.
Reasons for correcting the shape and size of the nostrils
Indications for surgery can be:
- too long wings of the nose;
- wide wings;
- nostrils of various sizes;
- narrow wings of the nose;
- thick nostrils;
- large wings of the nose;
- wings of the nose that sink.
Carrying out surgery for plastic surgery of the wings of the nose
The way of carrying out the operation to correct the wings of the nose depends on the individual characteristics of the person. The surgeon will select the option that best suits you.
- Reduction of the wings of the nose - the plastic surgeon makes small incisions on the sides, removes excess tissue and sutures the edges. Scars are invisible and go away quickly.
- Narrowing of the nostrils - the area of the columella (between the nostrils) is sutured, thereby narrowing the width of the wings of the nose.
- Retraction of the nostrils - for this operation, it is necessary to transplant tissue from the nasal septum or from the auricle.
Basically, plastic surgery of the wings of the nose is done in conjunction with general rhinoplasty. At the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon will assess the proposed intervention in terms of scope.
Contraindications to surgery
Patients must be 18 years of age or older.

- oncological diseases;
- blood clotting problems (and other blood diseases).
Also, plastic surgery of the wings of the nose is contraindicated in patients with mental illness, somatic diseases in the stage of decompensation or exacerbation.
Rehabilitation after plastic surgery of the nostrils
At the end of the operation, the doctor inserts tampons into the nose and applies a fixing plaster cast. After that, the patient may well go home, but if desired and the doctor's recommendation remains in the hospital. A week later, the cosmetic stitches are removed with the subsequent consultation of a specialist.
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, avoid physical activity and refuse from the sauna (bath) for a month.
Correction of the wings of the nose without surgery
In some clinics, in the presence of minor flaws, correction is possible without surgical manipulations. Changing the shape and size of the nostrils occurs with the use of fillers. The composition of the fillers is completely harmless to the human body. The advantage of this method is instant results and no rehabilitation period. In addition, after the procedure, there are no scars or scars left with 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 scars remain with fillers.
Non-surgical nose shape correction is performed under local anesthesia.
For most people, imperfections associated with 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, striving to bring their appearance closer to perfection, will always find some flaws. Therefore, there is plastic surgery. Rhinoplasty will help to correct various defects in the wings of the nose and nose in general.
