Preparation before aquiline nose correction-
1. Keep the nasal cavity clean for 3 days before operation;
2. Conditional computer simulation design.
Operation process of aquiline nose correction—
Hook nose plastic surgery can generally be performed under local anesthesia, and it can also be performed under general anesthesia if the range is large or the tolerance is poor.
There are two surgical methods: the internal nostril approach and the external nostril approach-
Total rhinoplasty by intranasal approach: this method first makes an incision between the nasal cartilage and alar cartilage in the nostril, then cuts off the hump on the back of the nose, and then files the sections of bone and cartilage with a bone file. Then, rhinoplasty is completed by narrowing the rear and lower parts of the nose. Intranasal approach is more suitable for plastic surgery in Europe and America and a few people with high external nose in China.
Total rhinoplasty by extranasal approach: This method first makes a nostril margin incision at the junction of the middle 1/3 and the lower 1/3 of the nasal column with the medial and lateral front of the alar cartilage. Through the skin incision, the skin of the external nose is lifted to the lower edge of the nasal bone, and the periosteum is cut through the periosteum incision and separated from the periosteum, muscle and skin on its surface, thus completing the nose under direct vision. External nostril approach is suitable for rhinoplasty for most people in China. No matter what kind of rhinoplasty method is used, nasal packing and external plaster or aluminum alloy splint should be done after operation.
Precautions after correction of aquiline nose-
1. After operation, you should take a half-sitting position, 1 ~ 2 days to get up and move;
2. Oral antibiotics for 3 days after operation;
3. Postoperative liquid food and semi-liquid food;
4. Pay attention to protect the nose from external force after operation;
5. Take out stitches about 1 week after operation, but the fixation needs to be maintained for two weeks;
6. There may be ecchymosis and swelling at first, which will soon disappear;
7. Pay a regular return visit.
