Do more ice compress within 72 hours after operation, which will help to reduce swelling. It is necessary to apply antibiotic ointment locally twice a day and take out stitches in 5 ~ 7 days.
Recovery time after alar reduction: swelling began the next day, and the effect was completely presented in about three months.
The following are the methods and postoperative precautions, which must be observed.
The incision of alar reduction surgery is located at the inner side of alar groove and the free edge of alar, which is well exposed and convenient to operate. However, because the nose is in a prominent position on the face, some small defects in the alar area will become obvious after operation, such as asymmetry between the alar and nostril, and disharmony between the alar groove and the lower edge of the alar after operation. Therefore, careful communication with eloquence before operation, careful measurement and design during operation, accurate suture during operation, and constant attention to the symmetry of nasal alar and nostril can improve patients' satisfaction with operation.
Because part of the alar tissue was removed vertically and horizontally, the alar length was corrected and the nostril circumference was reduced. After operation, the alar hypertrophy was significantly improved compared with that before operation, and the appearance of the whole nose was more harmonious, adding aesthetic feeling. Moreover, the scar of the surgical incision is small, which achieves a good effect of reducing the alar and finally gets a beautiful nose.
Suitable for people and surgical methods to reduce nasal alar
1. If the alar is wide and the nostril is wide, partial resection of alar base and nostril reduction can be performed cautiously. The incision is located at the base of alar and the lower part of alar sulcus. Under local anesthesia, part of the full-thickness tissue of the alar base was properly removed, and then the nostril was rotated inward to narrow and sutured intermittently in layers. The length of scar visible after operation is generally less than 1CM.
2. If the alar margin is wide, the alar free margin can be partially removed, and the incision can be stitched on the inner surface of the alar after trimming.
3. If the nostril is not big, the alar is too thick or the upper part of alar groove is too full, you can make a skin incision along the front edge of the lateral foot of alar cartilage, peel off the skin and the alar cartilage below, remove the swollen soft tissue on the cartilage surface, and then appropriately remove the upper and outer parts of alar cartilage; Then cut off a diamond-shaped vestibular skin and nasal mucosa in the nostril, and cut off excess adipose tissue. Finally, the incision on the edge of the nostril is sutured with the incision on the inner side of the base of the alar. The length of scar visible after operation is generally less than 1CM.
4, surgery to ensure the number of bilateral resection tissue and suture symmetry.
Precautions before lowering the alar:
1. Don't take aspirin two weeks before alar plastic surgery, because aspirin will reduce platelet coagulation function;
2. Patients with hypertension and diabetes should inform the doctor of their condition at the time of initial diagnosis, so that the attending doctor can confirm the nasal alar plastic surgery plan;
3. Make sure that you are in good health before nasal alar surgery, and there is no infectious disease or other body inflammation;
4, do not make up before nasal surgery;
5. Women should avoid menstrual period;
6. Men should quit smoking one week in advance.
Matters needing attention after nose wing reduction:
1, try to reduce the activity after operation and prevent the surgical site from touching;
2. It is forbidden to touch the surgical incision by hand after operation. Avoid incision hydrops within 7 days after operation.
3. Ensure the cleanliness of the nasal alar plastic surgery site to prevent infection. If there is blood scab or secretion on the wound, it can be wiped with sterile physiological saline.
4. After nasal alar surgery, the local wound can be bandaged with pressure or cold compress with ice packs, but the pressure should not be too high, so as not to damage the surgical site.
5. There should be a quiet and comfortable environment to recuperate after alar surgery. Avoid heavy load and aggravate the swelling of the wound;
6. There will be some pain in the wound on the day of alar surgery, but it will gradually decrease with time. Patients should not rush to take painkillers, because aspirin drugs will aggravate wound bleeding;
7, taboos, fasting spicy food.
8. Smoking is strictly prohibited within two weeks after the operation.
May you always be beautiful.
