If someone has a large nose or a wide nose, even after undergoing nostril reduction surgery, the nose may still appear disproportionate to the face. The cause of these issues often stems from multiple factors, including the structure of the nose such as the nasal base, the nasal bone structure, cartilage at the tip of the nose, and the underlying tissues like fat and collagen. These elements all contribute to the overall shape and size of the nose, which can lead to imbalance or disproportion when they don’t align with the rest of the facial features.

Some people may not be aware of the underlying issues with their noses. When they undergo rhinoplasty, it might make the nose appear longer, and in some cases, the nose can become larger. The nose might look slimmer due to changes in proportion between the base and the height of the silicone implant. Therefore, the issue can be corrected by procedures such as bone shaving, bone cutting, or bone manipulation to achieve a more balanced and proportionate appearance.

How to hammer the base of the nose and adjust the structure of the nose

The procedure of bone extension, bone crushingأو bone squeezing may sound scary, but it is a technique used to narrow the nasal base. This is done by separating the bone from the base and then squeezing the base inward, without interfering with the upper or internal parts of the bone.

The ability to squeeze the nose to make it narrower depends on the thickness of each person’s bone. After the surgery, it may be necessary to stop any bleeding in the nose and apply a nasal splint. There will be a 2mm incision inside the nostrils, and in cases where the bone is crushed, swelling and bruising can be more significant compared to regular rhinoplasty because of the movement of the bones and the bleeding. This procedure is a popular cosmetic surgery technique from South Korea that has spread to Thailand and is gaining popularity. The results are worth it, providing a beautifully sculpted nose that will make you forget about your old nose.
