How is Wide Rhinoplasty Performed?

Nose aesthetics is a type of cosmetic procedure sought by patients to alter their appearance, as the nose is centrally positioned on the face. Apart from cosmetic reasons, nose aesthetics is also performed for health issues.

People with wide noses often complain about the width of their nasal wings. In such cases, narrowing the nasal wings can address these issues. Known as nostril reduction, this aesthetic procedure can be combined with other procedures for reducing the width of the nose. Narrowing the nasal wings is a procedure aimed at making the nose appear narrower from both sides.

Wide nose aesthetics should be performed by specialized aesthetic doctors. Procedures done by untrained professionals may not only fail to achieve successful results but can also lead to various health problems. When wide nose aesthetics is performed using the open method, a 3-4 cm incision is made in the middle area between the nostrils to start the surgery. After this incision, the nose is opened to provide the surgeon with a clear view. The aesthetic doctor then narrows the wide nose according to the patient’s needs and performs nostril reduction, completing the procedure. Wide nose aesthetics typically involves general anesthesia and takes about 2-3 hours.

The open method for wide nose surgery is considered more advantageous than the closed method because it provides a better field of view. The ease of bleeding control and direct visibility of the operation areas offers more benefits to the surgeon. While the closed method leaves no visible scars, the open method’s direct access to the treatment areas can be more advantageous.

× Patients should primarily ensure ample bed rest after the surgery.

× The first day post-surgery is particularly sensitive, so only bed rest should be observed.

× The nose area should be protected from trauma and impacts after the surgery.

× As previously mentioned, bed rest should be maintained for at least the first week post-surgery.

× Patients should ask their aesthetic doctor any questions they have before, during, and after the procedure.

× Medications prescribed by the doctor should be taken regularly as they aid in recovery, and no other medications should be used.

× Even if there is pain, painkillers should be used according to the doctor’s instructions.

× Since the nose area is susceptible to infection, patients should maintain high hygiene standards and pay attention to dressings.

× The recovery time and return to social life depend entirely on the patient. Although there is no set recovery period, the first week post-surgery is crucial. Recovery can be extended or shortened based on how well the patient follows care instructions. If the patient does not adhere to care and doctor’s advice, the maximum recovery time, which averages around one month, may be experienced.

Cost of Wide Nose Aesthetics?

The cost of wide nose aesthetics varies depending on several factors, including the patient’s specific requests and needs. For instance, some patients may have issues with large nostrils, while others might require additional aesthetic procedures. The cost of wide nose aesthetics can also vary based on the hospital where the procedure is performed and the experience of the doctor. Additionally, the choice between open and closed methods affects the price, as each has its own set of differences.
