Precautions before alar reduction: Patients should choose suitable silicone prosthesis under the guidance of doctors according to their own requirements, and take skull X-rays to check their health if necessary. Women should avoid menstrual period. Patients should pay attention to cleaning nostrils and trimming nose hair.
Precautions after alar reduction: minimize activities after operation to prevent the surgical site from touching, and it is forbidden to touch the surgical incision with hands to avoid the incision from getting wet. Antibiotics should be taken for 3-5 days and stitches removed for 5-7 days to prevent infection. There will be local swelling after operation, which can gradually subside after four days to avoid heavy load, thus aggravating the swelling. Avoid sun exposure and violent impact for two months after operation, and avoid spicy food. Very few patients will have prosthetic rejection (no swelling for three weeks)
