nose reduction

There are two types of nose reduction: cutting the inside of the nose and cutting the outside (front side) of the nose. This choice depends mainly on the degree of nasal fullness.

Nose reduction is a procedure that adjusts the size of the nose to balance the entire face, but may involve some risks and side effects.

The most common side effects following surgery are swelling, pain, and internal bleeding. These are usually expected to subside within one to two weeks, but due to individual differences, some patients may experience these symptoms for a longer period of time.

The risk of infection at the surgical site should also be considered. To prevent this, it is important to follow the postoperative instructions for proper care and to keep the affected area clean. If infection does occur, the use of antibiotics and additional treatment may be necessary.

As for scars, they are generally not noticeable in the end, as the surgery is carefully sutured along the lines. However, depending on the patient's constitution and the way scar tissue forms, scars may be more noticeable than expected.

Satisfaction with surgical results also varies from person to person. If the result differs from expectations, the patient may experience emotional stress. To prevent this, it is important to have a thorough consultation prior to surgery to gain a better understanding of expectations and actual results.
