The nose plays an important role in aesthetic terms because it is located in the center of the face. Having the nose size proportional to the face can make a big difference in terms of overall facial aesthetics. For this reason, nose tightening surgery is a frequently preferred aesthetic operation for people who find their nose too large or wide and want to make it more compatible with their facial features. So, what is nose tightening surgery and what should you know about this procedure?
Nose Narrowing Surgery
Nasal narrowing surgery is a surgical procedure performed to rearrange the shape and size of the nose. This surgery is performed by removing or reshaping excess cartilage and bone tissue in certain areas of the nose.
During surgery, procedures such as reducing the width of the nose, thinning the tip of the nose and correcting the bridge of the nose can be performed. The goal is to obtain a more natural nose appearance that is more compatible with the patient’s facial features.
In what cases is nose tightening surgery performed?
Nasal narrowing surgery is generally preferred in the following cases:
Wide nose bridge: The upper part of the nose can be narrowed to fit the face.
Wide nose tip: If the tip of the nose is excessively wide or round, this area is thinned.
Excessive distance between nostrils: Excessive wide nostrils may negatively affect facial aesthetics. This width can be reduced with surgery.
Nose being disproportionate to facial features: If the nose is large and disproportionate to the face in general, it may disrupt the person’s facial symmetry. In this case, a more aesthetic result can be achieved with nose tightening.
How is Nose Narrowing Surgery Performed?
Nasal narrowing surgery is planned individually according to the patient’s aesthetic goals and the current structure of the nose. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, and the surgeon makes precise incisions to reshape the bone and cartilage structure of the nose. Bone and cartilage tissues are carefully removed or repositioned to narrow the nose.
During the surgery, the surgeon takes care to maintain symmetry on both sides of the nose and provide a natural appearance. After the surgery, a splint is placed in the nose area for support and this splint should be used throughout the healing process.
Recovery Process After Nose Tightening Surgery
The recovery process after nose tightening surgery may vary from person to person. However, the following processes generally occur:
- First few days: Swelling, bruising and mild discomfort may occur after surgery. These symptoms subside within a few days.
- First week: The splint placed in the nose area is usually removed one week after the surgery.
- First month: Most of the swelling subsides, but a slight swelling may continue for a few more months until the nose takes its full shape.
Following your doctor’s advice during the recovery process will increase your recovery speed. Avoiding tiring activities and protecting the nose from impacts are important points to be considered in this process.
