Some people prefer having a larger or wider nose, whereas others want to make the nose look narrower. Several options exist to narrow a wide nose. Let us learn about them.

People wishing to have a narrower nose might undergo nose surgery, rhinoplasty. It entails narrowing, straightening the nose as well as correcting the nose angles.

Before the rhinoplasty, it is important to discuss the realistic surgery outcomes with your plastic surgeon. It is also necessary to avoid smoking, alcoholic drinks, and blood-thinning medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen, etc.

During the rhinoplasty, the doctor applies local anesthesia and reconstructs the nasal bone and bridge. If you want to reduce the nostrils, the doctor might excise tissues from the area through small incisions. The scar of the incision should fade away with time.

After the rhinoplasty, the surgeon might ask you not to remove bandages until the stitches are taken. For three weeks after stitch removal, it is mandatory to refrain from strenuous exercises, taking hot baths, or going to the sauna.

Among the non-surgical methods, dermal fillers are the best option. It is because of a fast recovery and no downtime.

However, the result from fillers is temporary. That means that fillers get absorbed after a certain period.
