Nasal surgery has two prerequisites: for medical or 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, the wings restrict the outer openings of the nostrils from below.
Correcting the shape of the nostrils can sometimes perfectly improve the appearance of the entire nose.
Reasons for correction of the shape and size of nostrils
Indications for surgery may include:
- wings too long in the nose;
- wide wings;
- nostrils of various sizes;
- narrow wings of the nose;
- thick nostrils;
- large wings of the nose;
- sinking nasal wings.
Performing plastic surgery on the wings of the nose
The manner in which the operation to repair the nasal wings is performed depends on the individual characteristics of the individual. Your surgeon will choose the option that works best for you.
- Reducing the wings of the nose - the plastic surgeon makes small incisions in the side, removes excess tissue and sews the edges. The scars are invisible and disappear quickly.
- Narrowing of the nostrils - the area of the columella (between the nostrils) is sutured, thus narrowing the width of the wings of the nose.
- Nasal retraction - this operation requires transplantation of tissue from the nasal septum or nostril.
Basically, plastic surgery of the nasal wings is performed in conjunction with general rhinoplasty. During the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon will evaluate the proposed area of intervention.

- diseases of the internal organs;

In addition, plastic surgery of the nasal wings 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 surgery, the doctor inserts a tampon into his nose and applies a fixative plaster bandage. After that, the patient can go home, but if he wishes, and the doctor’s recommendation stays in the hospital. A week later, the cosmetic stitches are removed and followed by a specialist consultation.
The scar from the surgery disappears after 1-2 months. Patients are advised not to stay in the sun for long periods of time, avoid physical activity, and not stay in the sauna (bath) for a month.
Correction of nasal wings without surgery
In some clinics, correction is possible without surgical manipulations in the presence of minor defects. The shape and size of the nostrils are changed using fillers. The composition of the fillers is completely harmless to the human body. The advantage of this method is that it has immediate results and no rehabilitation period. In addition, no scars or scars remain with the fillers after the process.
The advantage of non-surgical correction of nostrils is the lack of rehabilitation period and rehabilitation period. In addition, no scars or scars remain with the fillers after the process.
Non-surgical intervention is performed under local anesthesia.
For most people, imperfections related to the shape and size of the nasal wings do not interfere with life, but there are those who do everything they can to correct the flaws in nature. In the modern world, people who strive to bring their appearance closer to perfection always find certain flaws. That is why there is plastic surgery. Rhinoplasty helps to correct various defects in the nose and the wings of the nose in general.
