An upturned nose is a nose shape with an upturned nose tip, which usually makes the nostrils too exposed and the facial contour appears less harmonious. For some people who want to improve the appearance of their nose, upturned nose correction surgery is an effective option. This surgery adjusts the position, shape and angle of the nose tip to make the nose more in line with natural aesthetic standards. However, not everyone is suitable for upturned nose correction surgery. This article will discuss which groups of people are suitable for upturned nose correction surgery, as well as the indications and precautions of the surgery.
Overview of Upturned Nose Correction Surgery
Upturned nose correction surgery is a plastic surgery to improve the shape of the nose tip through surgery. Its main purpose is to adjust the nose tip cartilage to improve the upward tilt of the nose tip and make the nose shape more natural and harmonious. The surgery usually includes two methods:
Tip reshaping : By removing or adjusting the shape and size of the tip cartilage, the angle of the nose tip can be changed to make it more in line with the overall facial proportions.
Tip cartilage grafting : In some cases, cartilage from other parts of the nose or artificial materials are transplanted to support the tip of the nose and change its shape and position.
The operation is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes a short time, generally about 1 to 2 hours. After the operation, the patient usually needs to keep the head elevated to avoid putting pressure on the nose.
People who are suitable for upturned nose correction
Although upturned nose correction surgery can effectively improve the shape of the nose tip, not everyone is suitable for this type of surgery. The following are the characteristics of people who are suitable for upturned nose correction.
1. People with a prominent upturned nose tip
The main feature of an upturned nose is that the nose tip is upturned, causing the nostrils to be overexposed and out of proportion with other facial features. For those whose nose tips are obviously upturned and who are dissatisfied with this appearance, upturned nose correction surgery is an effective option. By adjusting the angle and shape of the nose tip, the nose can be made more in line with the overall facial aesthetics.
2. Adults aged 18 or above
Upturned nose correction surgery is suitable for adults whose facial development is basically completed. Generally speaking, the nose development of adults over 18 years old is basically stable and suitable for corrective surgery . For underage patients, since the nose is still in the development stage, performing such surgery too early may affect the natural development of the nose and lead to unsatisfactory results.
3. People with tight nose skin
When performing upturned nose correction surgery, the firmness of the nose skin directly affects the surgical effect. If the patient's nose skin is too loose or the soft tissue is too thin, it may lead to poor recovery after surgery or easy scar hyperplasia. Therefore, people with tighter skin and no obvious looseness are more suitable for this type of surgery.
4. People who want to improve the overall beauty of their nose
Upturned nose correction surgery not only improves the shape of the nose tip, it can also enhance the beauty of the entire nose. For those who hope to make their nose more harmonious and refined through surgery, upturned nose correction surgery is an effective option. After the operation, the angle and shape of the nose tip are adjusted, and the overall nose is more coordinated with other facial features, improving the beauty of the overall face.
5. People who are in good health and have no serious underlying diseases
The success of the operation is closely related to the patient's physical health. Patients undergoing upturned nose correction surgery need to be in good health and have no serious underlying diseases, such as diabetes, immune system diseases , etc. Such diseases may affect the recovery process after surgery and increase the risk of postoperative complications. Therefore, only patients who are in good health and have no major diseases are suitable for this type of surgery.
6. People who have reasonable expectations for the results of surgery
When undergoing any plastic surgery, the patient's psychological state and expectations are very important. For those who have reasonable expectations for the results of upturned nose correction surgery, the surgery can achieve the desired aesthetic effect. However, if the patient's expectations are too high, they may have unrealistic demands on the surgical results, which may lead to dissatisfaction after the surgery. Therefore, reasonable aesthetic standards and expectations are crucial to the effectiveness of the surgery .
7. Patients whose nasal cartilage is suitable for correction
Upturned nose correction surgery changes the angle and shape of the nose tip by adjusting the nose tip cartilage, so the patient's nasal cartilage needs to be easily maneuverable . For patients with hard or deformed cartilage, the surgery may require additional cartilage transplantation or adjustment. Before the surgery, the doctor will usually evaluate the condition of the nasal cartilage to ensure that the patient is suitable for this surgery.
Indications and contraindications
Although upturned nose correction surgery is suitable for many people, there are still some contraindications. Patients should fully understand the indications and contraindications before choosing the surgery to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the surgery.
