What is nose tip reduction surgery? Is nose tip reduction surgery dangerous?

Everyone must have heard of a lot of cosmetic surgeries in life, but do you know about nose tip reduction surgery? Today, let's learn about it together. What is nose tip reduction surgery? Is it dangerous? Let's learn together with the editor.

Narrowing of the nose means reducing the size of the nose tip, so how is it done? Generally speaking, the reason for narrowing the nose tip is that there is too much tissue in the nose tip, which causes the external nose to be out of shape. The surgery to eliminate the hyperplastic tissue and restore the normal shape of the external nose is called narrowing of the nose tip. Narrowing of the nose tip is not complicated. Generally speaking, to make the nose tip smaller, it is necessary to remove the excess skin and tissue of the nose tip, but after 3 to 6 months, this mark will become flat, shallow, and not obvious, and it is not easy to see. Narrowing of the nose tip is generally performed by making a butterfly incision along the edge of the nose, separating the skin to expose the alar cartilage, and removing the upper part of the alar cartilage at the dome, resuturing and shaping, and then removing the excess connective tissue and fat under the skin, as well as the skin of the nose, and finally suturing it.

Any surgery will have a certain risk rate, but if you go to a regular hospital and keep the doctor's instructions in mind and take good care of yourself, the risk will be greatly reduced. Common risks include:

1. Infection after surgery

Infection is the last thing people want to happen after surgery. In normal surgery, infection rarely occurs during nose plastic surgery. However, if you choose the wrong doctor, this situation is possible, and once infection occurs, the consequences will be very serious. If the doctor performs surgery when the patient has a cold and has an allergic reaction, infection is more likely to occur. If you feel abnormal pain and swelling after nose tip reduction surgery, you should consult a relevant doctor in time.

2. Feeling of discomfort in the nose after surgery

After the nose tip is reduced, the nose may feel a little uncomfortable and breathing may be difficult. In fact, this is not a sequela, but the result of swelling of the incision and upper respiratory tract infection or allergy. This is temporary. However, if the symptoms persist, treatment should be sought, otherwise it may cause the nasal membrane to shift and the nasal concha to deform, thus causing respiratory and sinus diseases.

How much does nose reduction cost?

There is no fixed price for nose tip reduction surgery. It is related to the individual differences of the patient, the appearance of the nose, and the doctor's treatment level and method. Although nose tip reduction is a minor operation, it is related to the facial image and therefore requires a high level of professionalism from the doctor. A highly skilled and skilled doctor can perform the operation perfectly and minimize the patient's pain, so you must be careful when choosing. A professional doctor will speed up the recovery of the operation, and the price ranges from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan.

How long does it take to see results from nose reduction surgery?

It usually takes 3-6 months to see the effect after nose tip reduction surgery. You can see the effect on the first day when the swelling has not started yet, but the effect is not stable. The nose tip will enter the swelling stage on the second day after the surgery, and it will take about 10 days for the swelling to subside. During this period, the nose tip will become smaller. However, after the swelling subsides, it will enter the edema hyperplasia stage, and the nose tip will become harder and larger. It usually takes 3-6 months for the hyperplasia of the nose tip to gradually disappear, and then the effect of nose tip reduction can be seen.
