Nostril correction

Are you considering reducing the size of your nostrils for a more balanced facial profile? The main reason people opt for a nostril correction is when they feel their nostrils are too large and want a more refined profile. This is because hefty nostrils cause your nose to cover a larger area of your face, quickly drawing attention to it. Making nose wings smaller instantly gives the nose a more refined look.

A rhinoplasty for a wide nose can help you achieve a slimmer nose shape, perfectly suited to your unique facial features. Sometimes the nostrils are not necessarily very large, but have a wide presence. In this case, we make the nose narrower by making the nostrils less wide. This makes the nose less prominent on the face. Nose correction wide nose is a minor procedure with an optically great result.

When the shape or projection of your nose tip is not ideal, you can opt for nose tip correction. The aim is to improve specific features of the nose tip, such as refining a thick convex tip, refining a nose tip that is too thick or too wide, lifting a nose tip that points down too much, or correcting an asymmetry.

A nose that is too big or too high, crooked nose bridge or bump on the nose can make your nose look out of harmony with your face. A nose bridge that is too large or too high is very noticeable. With a nose bridge correction, also known as bridge rhinoplasty, the surgeon can change the shape of the nasal bridge. Most people have a nose correction done to improve the appearance of their nose or to correct breathing problems. We tell you more about this at nasal bridge correction: rhinoplasty.

The nose is pretty much the centre of the face. If you have too large, too small or uneven nostrils, it can significantly change the appearance of your face. A subtle adjustment is often enough to give your face a more balanced look. However subtle the change, with a rhinoplasty it is possible to add just a little more balance.

Both men and women come to Wellness Kliniek for rhinoplasty every year. Sometimes several adjustments to the nose are desirable to achieve the best result. Of course, you don't have to work out for yourself which procedures are necessary, because our experienced doctors can advise you on that. They will look at which shape of nose best suits your face and which procedures are needed to achieve this.

You are a good candidate for having your nostrils made smaller if you are unhappy with the width or size of your nostrils or if they hinder your breathing. This procedure can be done from 18 -20 years, as from then your nose is fully grown. It is important that you have good health. If you use blood thinners, drink alcohol or smoke, the doctor will ask you to stop doing so before the operation.

The plastic surgeon makes an incision of about 1.5 centimetres at the base of the nostrils (the alar base). Because the incisions are at the base of your nostrils, they will be barely visible, if at all, after the operation. Moreover, they fade over time, so you will hardly notice them later on.

A nostril correction takes 25 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the exact operation. The treatment can be done under local or general anaesthesia and you can go home the same day.

No, a nostril correction at Wellness Kliniek is performed under local or general anaesthesia, which means you won't feel any pain during the nose surgery. After surgery, you may experience some discomfort, swelling and bruising around your nostrils, but the pain is usually well controlled with the painkillers prescribed by your surgeon.

Based on the surgery, the doctor will give you the exact aftercare rules, which you should strictly follow for the fastest possible recovery. Usually, you should not exercise, do (heavy) work and lifting, smoke and take alcohol for a fortnight, as this can lead to bleeding and inflammation. If you stick to this then the chances of risks and complications after plastic surgery of the nose are minimal.

Recovery varies from person to person, but generally you can expect most swelling and bruising to subside within 2 weeks. After a few weeks, you will see the final result.

Generally, recovery is quick and nose surgery requires little aftercare.

A correction of the nostrils is a relatively small and quick procedure, but with great visual results. The incisions are small and scars barely visible, as they are hidden at the base of the nose. Moreover, a lot is possible with this accessible procedure, allowing almost any shape nose to be corrected to perfection.
