Nasal wing reduction surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure chosen by many to achieve a harmonious and balanced nose shape. If you’re considering enhancing your appearance with this method, here are some insights you may find helpful.

What is nasal wing reduction surgery?

Nasal wing reduction surgery is a cosmetic reshaping procedure designed to contour the nasal wings. It involves making precise incisions either on the external nasal crease or the inner base of the nasal wings to achieve a slimmer, more refined shape.

The results of this surgery can effectively address issues such as wide or flared nostrils, enhancing overall facial aesthetics and boosting confidence in daily life.

Surgical Methods for Nasal Wing Reduction

The method for nasal wing reduction surgery will be considered by the doctor based on the examination and the patient’s aesthetic needs. One of the following two methods may be applied:

2.1. Wing Reduction Surgery (Nasal Wing Excision)

This is a surgical technique aimed at improving the size and shape of the nose through the alteration of soft tissue, bone, and cartilage structures around the nose. During the surgery, the doctor will remove a portion of the nasal wing to achieve the desired aesthetic goal.

2.2. Nasal Wing Rolling Surgery

Nasal wing rolling surgery involves modifying the structure of the nasal wings and columella. The procedure includes making an incision to open the skin and nasal base, through which the doctor adjusts the bone and cartilage structures of the nasal wings and columella. The final result is a slimmer and more refined appearance of the nasal wings.

Procedure for Nasal Wing Reduction Surgery

A typical nasal wing reduction surgery involves the following steps:

• Consultation and Examination

The specialist will examine and assess the nose to determine the proportion of the nasal wings that need to be reduced in order to achieve harmony with the face. The amount of tissue to be excised or rolled will also be decided to reach the aesthetic goal. The doctor will then discuss the surgical method and procedure with the patient.

• Pre-Surgery Preparation

Before proceeding with the surgery, the doctor will require the patient to undergo some basic tests to ensure they are in good health for the surgery. Additionally, the patient will be instructed to refrain from using stimulants, smoking, and blood-thinning medications for at least two weeks prior to the surgery.

• Performing the Surgery

Nasal wing reduction surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the surgery and the patient’s health.
During the procedure, the doctor will make a small incision at a pre-determined location on the nasal wing, remove excess tissue, and adjust the internal structures to slim the nasal wings. After the surgery, the doctor will perform a cosmetic stitch to minimize scarring.

• Post-Surgery Recovery

In the first few days, swelling and bruising around the nose may occur, but these symptoms will gradually subside. The patient should follow the doctor’s instructions for wound care, take prescribed medications, and attend follow-up appointments to ensure optimal aesthetic results.

Important Considerations Before and After Nasal Wing Reduction Surgery

4.1. Pre-Surgery Considerations

To ensure safety and achieve the best surgical results, patients should choose a licensed medical facility with qualified and experienced doctors. The clinic should be equipped with modern medical equipment necessary for the surgery.

4.2. Post-Surgery Considerations

• Keep the wound clean and dry, avoiding contact with dirt and water during the initial recovery period.
• Follow the doctor’s prescribed medication regimen and attend follow-up appointments to allow the doctor to monitor recovery and assess the aesthetic results of the surgery.
• Avoid intense physical activities, especially those that may cause impact to the nose area.
• Refrain from using stimulants or consuming food that may cause allergies to promote faster healing of the wound.

Possible Risks Associated with Alar Base Reduction Surgery

Alar base reduction surgery is generally a safe procedure, but certain risks can arise, particularly if performed at unlicensed cosmetic centers or by unqualified surgeons, such as:

• Infection

Infection is one of the most common risks following surgery. This risk increases when wounds are not properly cared for, or if the operating environment lacks proper sterilization.
To minimize the risk of infection, patients should follow their doctor’s wound care instructions, take prescribed antibiotics if recommended, and avoid exposing the surgical site to unsanitary conditions during the early post-operative days.

• Scarring

The risk of scarring cannot be entirely avoided after surgery. While aesthetic sutures are used to minimize visible scarring, factors such as individual skin healing responses can lead to the formation of dark scars or keloids after nasal surgery.

• Unsatisfactory Results

Not all cases of alar base reduction yield the desired results. If the procedure is not performed to standard, it may result in asymmetry, over-reduction of the alar base, and other undesired outcomes. To reduce the risk of disappointing results, patients should choose a skilled and qualified surgeon and clearly communicate their aesthetic goals before surgery.

• Numbness

Some patients may experience numbness in the nasal area after surgery due to nerve damage during the procedure. This numbness is usually temporary and resolves within weeks to months. However, in rare cases, numbness may persist or even become permanent.

• Breathing Issues

Certain patients may encounter breathing difficulties following the surgery, such as nasal congestion or shortness of breath, which can affect daily activities. These symptoms often subside gradually, but some cases may require medical intervention.
