Wide Nasal Bone Reduction: What to Expect Before and After

When the nasal bone of your nose is wide, it makes it disproportionate to your overall face. It affects your facial harmony, self-confidence and can make you overly conscious of your appearance. This is what the wide nasal bone reduction, a cosmetic surgery, is used to correct. 

It reshapes or reconstructs your nose, refining its tip and narrowing the nasal base to make it look balanced with your face. But what are the benefits, risks, and the procedure for it? Are you the right candidate for it?

At Asli Tracan Clinic, our surgeons talk to the patients daily. Here is the complete insight for anyone who wants to go for Nasal bone reduction surgery. 

What’s Wide Nasal Bone Reduction?

Wide nasal bone reduction, also known as wide nasal bone rhinoplasty, is a procedure that narrows down the nostrils and the nasal base by reshaping your nose. It also removes the cartilage if needed in the tip area to make it more refined, matching it with your face harmony. 

The purpose of wide nostril rhinoplasty is to give you a balanced and well-refined nose that is proportionate to your face.

Not only does this procedure help narrow down the wide nose, but it also fixes the breathing issues if they’re caused by nasal obstructions.

Different Surgical Techniques Used

There are different surgical techniques used in this wide nose bridge rhinoplasty to make it more effective and safe. 

• Osteotomies: This technique gently shifts the nasal bones to make the nose look narrower and more balanced.
• Alar base reduction: It removes some tissue near the nostrils to reduce the width of the nose base.
• Cartilage reduction: It reshapes or trims extra cartilage to give the tip of the nose a cleaner and more refined look. 

Benefits Of Wide Nose Rhinoplasty

These are the benefits of a fat nose rhinoplasty: 

• Proportional Face: Helps bring better balance to your facial features.
• Reshapes: Refines the nose shape for a slimmer, more natural look.
• Self-Confidence: Can boost your confidence by enhancing your appearance.
• Opens the Nasal Passages: May improve breathing if your nose was previously blocked.
• Deformity: It also fixes deformities on the nose caused by any injuries in the past.

Things To Consider

Before you get this wide nose ethnic rhinoplasty, consider these things and be ready for them:

• Healing can look a little uneven on each side.
• The final shape might not match your exact wish.
• Some people notice their nose feels slightly numb or off for a while during recovery.
• Some notice that breathing doesn’t feel quite as smooth as it used to.
• In rare cases, a small mark or line can show where the incision was made.
• Now and then, the skin doesn’t settle evenly and can look slightly off or textured.

Who’s the Right Candidate For Wide Nasal Bone Reduction? 

Though nasal bone reduction is a cosmetic surgery that can be done to improve the appearance, it may not be suitable for everyone. 

Any rhinoplasty surgery like this one can have different consequences depending on the health and condition of the patient.

The right candidates for this wide, big nose rhinoplasty are people who are in good health, have a wide bulbous nose, and a disproportionate face that they’re not satisfied with. 

Also, they need to be 18 years old for the surgery so that their nose has grown and developed enough to bear all the incisions and heal faster.

Furthermore, to know if you’re a good fit for it, you may contact us and we’ll tell you after assessing your medical conditions and the nose whether this procedure is right for you. 

We’ll also tell you if any other less invasive procedure can give you the desired nose you’ve always wanted.

What To Expect Before The Surgery?

When you come to our clinic, our surgeons do a detailed consultation with you. They ask you about your goals, discuss the benefits, risks, and the procedure. 

They also check your medical conditions and may ask you to stop taking some medications before the surgery. 

Moreover, they may give you a nutrition plan to follow before the surgery so you can get the best results and faster healing. Be honest with whatever they ask you, so you can get the desired results.

After the detailed assessments of your nose and knowing your desires, extra procedures may be determined, such as tip rhinoplasty, nostril reduction, or just the regular cosmetic rhinoplasty.

Procedure 

The procedure then starts with you being put under general anaesthesia so you stay pain-free throughout the surgery. 

We also use local anaesthesia mixed with adrenaline to minimise bleeding during the surgery. But don’t worry, we put that in when you’re fully asleep so that you don’t even feel the injection.

When the surgery is done, we apply the bandages and give you some medicines to control the pain, swelling, and bruising. Our surgeons also give you the post-care tips and the nutrition plan so you can get the best results with the fastest recovery.

Though the full recovery takes up to a year, you start to see the results within a few weeks.

How to reduce the wide nasal bone

You would need to get wide nasal bone reduction surgery, where the bones are carefully moved to bring the width in and shape the nose better.

How to reduce the nasal bone size

This usually involves a procedure where parts of the bone are trimmed or shifted to make the nose look smaller overall.

Can I make my nasal bone smaller?

It’s possible, but only with surgery, since things like fillers or creams can’t actually change the bone itself.
