| If
your nostrils are too wide, the surgeon can remove small
wedges of skin form their base, bringing them closer together. |
|
| Incisions
are made inside the nostrils or at the base of the nose,
providing access to the cartilage and bone, which can then
be sculpted into shape. |
|
| Before
surgery, the surgeon marks the incision sites, following the
natural lines and creases of the upper and lower eyelids. |
 |
| Trimming
the septum improves the angle between the nose and upper lip. |
 |
| A
splint made of tape and an overlay of plastic, metal, or
plaster is applied to help the bone and cartilage of the
nose maintain their new shape. |
 |
| After
surgery, the patient has a smaller nose, a straighter bridge,
a well defined nasal tip, and an improved angle between the
nose and upper lip. |
