One case of abnormal nasal sound after alar reduction / 中华整形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

To introduce a case of nasal sound after alar base reduction. The patient was an 78-year-old female who came to the Hangzhou’s First Hospital(Nanjing Medical University Affiliated Hangzhou Hospital)because of the conscious feeling of nasal fat hypertrophy. The diagnosis was nasal atrophy, and nasal sounds were produced after the alarization was reduced while the wound heals good. The symptoms were not significantly improved after 6 months of follow-up, suggesting that there is a possibility of nasal noise after nasal augmentation. Therefore, when performing the alar reduction, attention should be paid not only to the nasal shape, but also to the nasal function.
