Surgical procedure for alar reduction:
1. Make a nostril margin incision along the medial alar cartilage and the anterior edge of the lateral foot.
2. Separate the skin from the alar cartilage below through the incision.
3. Trim the adipose tissue on the surface of alar cartilage, and then remove most of the upper and outer parts of alar cartilage, leaving only a ┴"-shaped cartilage "in the middle and edge.
4. suture the incision. Pay attention to oral antibiotics for 5-7 days after alar reduction, and take out stitches 5-7 days after operation. Don't touch the wound with water before taking out stitches. 1 week will reduce the swelling, 1 month will basically reduce the swelling, and the effect will be better after 3-6 months. Avoid bumping your nose for a month to prevent deviation.
Suitable for reducing the alarm crowd:
1, the alar is unsightly, which affects the shape of nostril. The unsightly alar can be divided into drooping alar, hypertrophy alar, up-contracted alar, collapsed alar and narrow alar. The characteristic of alar drooping is that the alar droops before, after or all the alar edges. I may completely cover the nose column on the side, similar to the nose of a lion, which is more common in yellow people and black people.
2. If the nostril is flat and the shape is close to the horizontal oblate circle, minor surgery can be used. This situation is common in African, Southeast Asian and Malaysian races, and it is also common in southern China.
3. Congenital or acquired deformities, such as traumatic deformities, nostril atresia, absence and bilateral nostril sizes. You can use this little operation. Nose plastic surgery involves cartilage, which is difficult. Simple rhinoplasty can't solve the problem of nostril, which needs to be considered comprehensively according to the overall nasal condition.
4. Age 18 years old or above. Age is another factor for doctors to consider nose plastic surgery. Plastic surgeons generally don't give teenagers (girls 14- 15, boys 16- 17) nose plastic surgery until they reach a relatively stable age.
