Lower the Nostrils through alar retraction surgery

 Some people's nostrils look loose and prominent. When observing the entire face, although the nose does not occupy much area, the size of the bridge of the nose or nostrils, the shape of the nose, etc. will affect the impression of the person.

The nose locates in the center of the face. If the bridge of the nose is higher and protruding than the tip of the nose, or if there are bumps on the bridge of the nose, it will make you unsatisfied with your appearance. Especially for people with visible nostrils that look like a dragon's nose, not only does the nose look unsightly, but it also affects the overall impression of the face. So more and more people want to improve this situation. They only need Nostrilplasty to create a youthful and soft impression.

So, what do you mean by lowering the nostrils?

Lowering the nostrils is an operation that can improve the exposure of the nostrils. By using the skin of the alar of the nose to cover the visible part of the nostrils, the image can be softened.

Sometimes, some people confuse the “dragon's nose”, the upturned nose (short nose) and the round nose because their nostrils are visible. Generally speaking, the dragon’s nose refers to the nose when the sides of the nostrils are prominent, the upturned nose (short nose) refers to the nose with the tip of the nose facing upward, and the round nose refers to the blunt, round nose. Blindly lowering your nostrils can make your nose look bigger, so you need to accurately diagnose whether your nose is a dragon’s nose, a short nose or a round nose to find the right way to improve your nose.

You can view detailed information about upturned nose (short nose) and round nose in the previous article. Please check the post below.

This is how the alar retraction surgery for lowering the nostrils proceeds.

It can be said that the important part of alar retraction surgery to lower the nostrils is to gently lower the skin of the nostrils downwards so that the skin of the nostrils does not spread when viewed from the front and maintains a soft and sharp feeling. If the nostrils are not too visible, the nostrils can be improved by lowering the skin of the nostrils and then transplanting autologous cartilage to strengthen the edges of the nostrils. However, if the nostrils are too wide or too visible, or they are not symmetrical, complicated skin and cartilage transplants or nostril reduction surgery may be required. At this point, you can accurately find out the cause and improve it through various surgical methods.

Although the nose is small, its structure is very complicated, and the shape of the nose varies from person to person. No matter how simple it looks to correct your nostrils, you will need to meet with a medical professional who has knowledge of anatomy and aesthetics to ensure improvement.

For this reason, before performing alar retraction surgery, detailed examination and accurate diagnosis of various factors, such as the size of alar cartilage, the elasticity of the skin and the strength of the cartilage, are very important. Since it is necessary to consider not only the cosmetic improvement of the nose, but also the functional parts, it is necessary to analyze the internal structure of the nose in detail. In addition, according to each person's situation, whether it is to perform cartilage transplantation, skin transplantation, or difficult surgery such as skin removal, an accurate diagnosis should be obtained from medical personnel with rich clinical experience and nose expertise to get satisfactory results.
