- Reduction of the wings of the nose: The plastic surgeon makes small incisions on the sides, removes excess tissue and sutures the edges. The scars are invisible and disappear quickly.
- Narrowing of the nostrils: The area of the columella (between the nostrils) is sutured, reducing the width of the wings of the nose.
- Retraction of the nostrils: for this operation, it is necessary to transplant tissue from the nasal septum or the pinna.
