- Reduction of the wings of the nose - the plastic surgeon makes small incisions on the sides, removes excess tissue and sews up the edges. The scars are invisible and disappear quickly.
- Narrowing of the nostrils - the area of the columella (between the nostrils) is sutured, which narrows the width of the wings of the nose.
- Nostril withdrawal - for this operation it is necessary to transplant tissue from the nasal septum or from the ear shell.
