Nasal tip reduction surgery typically involves making a butterfly-shaped incision along the alar margin. The skin is dissected to expose the alar cartilage, which is partially resected at the dome area and reshaped through suturing. Excess subcutaneous connective tissue, fat, and nasal skin are then excised before final closure.
What are the precautions for nasal tip reduction surgery? Postoperative care instructions:
1. Sutures are removed 5-7 days after surgery. Keep the wound dry until suture removal.
2. Avoid any impact to the nose for one month post-surgery to prevent displacement.
3. Swelling begins to subside on the third day post-surgery, with significant reduction by one week. Optimal results are achieved 1-3 months post-surgery.
4. Upon full recovery, no surgical traces will be visible, and the appearance will be natural and realistic.
