Nose contouring: step-by-step instructions with video + 34 photos

Deviation of the nose is a condition in which all or part of the nose is displaced to the side.

This disorder is best seen in the full-face position, that is, when the person is looking directly at you. There are many options for nasal curvature: horizontal or vertical, complete or partial, in the anterior and posterior regions. But in the vast majority of cases, either the tip of the nose or its back deviates from the midline of the face. The latter may also look like a bend in the middle area.

Methods for correcting the shape of the nose

Plastic surgery that helps correct imperfections in the appearance of the nose is called rhinoplasty. By doing this you can fix:

● snub nose;
● length;
● humps;
● ugly tip;
● curved septum and other defects.

Surgical intervention, which allows both to straighten the nose after a fracture and to eliminate congenital defects, can be:

● open when the cuts occur on the outside. Used if significant correction is required;
● closed. In this case, the surgeon cuts the nose from the inside. Typically used for less serious surgeries.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes on average one or two hours. The recovery period lasts approximately six months to a year. Only after this time will the nose take the desired shape.

Types of rhinoplasty:

● primary – carried out for the first time, often there are medical indications for it (for example, difficulty breathing);
● corrective – performed after the first operation if the nose does not heal exactly as the patient wishes. It takes about half an hour and requires only local anesthesia;
● secondary – a more complex event, which is aimed at correcting the results of a poorly performed first rhinoplasty. Unfavorable rehabilitation is also an indication.

A separate method is contour. It is carried out by introducing fillers and allows you to correct minor imperfections: slight asymmetry, smooth out the tip, etc. It is not possible to straighten the nasal septum without surgery.

We will conduct a full diagnosis, determining whether the defect is purely cosmetic or has an impact on health. Depending on this, an individual scheme is selected, which can combine various methods.

Exercises to make your nose smaller

The author of the Facebuilding technique, cosmetologist Carol Maggio and dozens of her followers claim that regular exercise can not only get rid of wrinkles, but also improve your profile.

The nose is part of the respiratory system, formed by cartilage on the outside. Only the bridge of the nose is made of bone. There, in the area where glasses are put on, muscles are placed. The tip of the nose and wings are cartilaginous tissue.

Proponents of face-building claim that the muscles of the nose can be pumped up, the ligaments can be tightened or shortened without surgery. And they even give examples in photographs “before” and “after” of using “nasal gymnastics”.

Adherents of nose gymnastics promise first results after 3 months of regular exercises. For a more pronounced effect, perform the complex in the evening while standing or sitting, without being distracted by other things.

Important: The creators of non-surgical rhinoplasty exercises remind you that a hump or curvature of the back cannot be removed with the help of facial gymnastics. Only a plastic surgeon can remove the growth of cartilage or bone tissue during rhinoplasty.

Reduction and elevation of the tip of the nose

Place your index finger and thumb around your nostrils and tip of your nose, lifting it up. Slowly pull your upper lip down, feeling tension and stretching. Do 40 reps.

Reduction of the wings of the nose

A woman's dream is a narrow, graceful nose with small wings. The Facebook building course promises to narrow your profile. To do this, you need to perform one exercise in the evening. Use your thumb and forefinger to tightly clasp your nostrils and pinch them shut. Do not unclench your fingers, make circular movements, as if rubbing your wings. Repeat the movements 45 times up and down.

Exercises to shorten the nose

If you pump the muscle of the upper lip and the area from the edge of the nostril to the mucous membrane of the lips, you can really get a more graceful nose. To do this, pinch the bridge of your nose with your index finger and thumb. With your other index finger, press the tip of your nose, fixing it. Then lower your upper lip down. Return it to its original position. When performing the exercise correctly, a person feels a flow of blood and a slight tingling sensation in the area of the tip of the nose. For the effect, it is necessary to repeat the complex 40 times within 3 months.

Straightening

Lip manipulation promises to straighten the tip of the nose. To do this, leave your index finger and thumb on the bridge of your nose. The tip of the nose is directed with the fingers of the other hand in the direction opposite to the curvature. At the same time, pull your lower lip down. Stay in this position for 2 seconds. Repeat the movements 40 times.

Narrowing the nose with exercises

The nose is an organ that grows throughout your life. Therefore, with age, the wings grow and the profile loses its sophistication. A simple exercise promises to return to a more youthful and graceful shape without surgery:

Use your index finger to press on the tip of your nose, pressing slightly upward.
open your mouth slightly. At the same time, pull your upper lip towards your teeth, as if wrapping them with your lip. When performed correctly, you should feel a slight stretch.

Perform the exercise 40 times. With careful study, Carol Maggio promises that not only the nose will become thinner and more graceful, but also nasolabial wrinkles will disappear and the corner of the mouth will soften.

Exercises for a smooth transition of the nose to the cheeks

With age, many people develop a sharp furrow that runs from the inner corner of the eyes to the nose. This exercise promises to soften this transition:

Place your index fingers on the inner corners of your eyes;
Place the middle and ring ones on the side of the bridge of the nose. Wrinkle your nose tightly with your fingers. At the same time, slide your fingers slowly down, reaching the tip of the nose on the sixth count.

Repeat all over again, and so on 20 times.

Nose strengthening

The most static exercise in the complex. On the bridge of the nose, where the muscles of the nose are located, place the tips of your index fingers so that they touch. Slowly press the skin with them, slightly pulling it down.

Reducing your nose with potatoes

Place the tip of your index finger on the tip of your nose, lifting it up. Next, stretch your upper lip, trying to tuck it under your front teeth as much as possible. For a pronounced effect, do 30 repetitions.

Fans of Facebook building claim that it is gymnastics that reduces the size of the nose without surgery. Opponents state that all pressure stretches the skin, contributing to the early appearance of wrinkles on the face, without affecting the cartilage tissue in any way.

Do a face-building routine every day or mask the tip of your nose with concealers—it’s up to you. In any case, we advise you to make an appointment with a plastic surgeon if you are concerned about the shape of your nose. Indeed, in addition to aesthetic discomfort, there may be cysts or a deviated septum that interfere with normal breathing. And no amount of gymnastics or makeup can fix this.

Recovery after rhinoplasty

The period of complete recovery after rhinoplasty is divided into the following stages:

● primary, immediately after surgery;
● wearing a splint;
● disappearance of edema;
● final healing.

These stages of recovery may take six months to a year, but the nose and face acquire an attractive appearance within one to two weeks after the operation.

Recovery after rhinoplasty requires the patient to wear a plaster splint for about a week. For another two to three months after the operation, it is forbidden to wear glasses, play sports or undergo physical activity, or go to the sauna or bathhouse. In the first weeks of rehabilitation, there may be a feeling of nasal congestion and discomfort. Pain, as a rule, may be present in the first days; it is mild and passes quickly.

Types of cosmetic clay

Before we tell you how to make a clay face mask, let's talk about what this cosmetic product is.

White clay (kaolin)

It is a rock containing the mineral kaolinite, which is the basis for its name. The important ability of kaolin to whiten the skin has made white clay a popular product in cosmetology. Masks based on it brighten the complexion, reducing pigmentation and the severity of freckles. Clay tightens pores well, creating a slight lifting effect. It is considered an excellent absorbent and natural antiseptic for wounds.

Blue clay (keel)

In our country, this breed has long been mined in Crimea, and abroad – in Bulgaria. The more well-known name for the mineral is “soapstone.” Due to the presence of silver in the composition, it has a blue-green color with a hint of blue or yellow, as well as powerful antiseptic properties. For the same reason, masks based on clubroot are indicated for acne. They perfectly increase cellular metabolism and rejuvenate the skin.

Green clay (illite)

Has a beneficial effect on mature facial skin, increasing its firmness and elasticity. Smoothes out networks of wrinkles. The zinc contained in its composition acts as an antiseptic and reduces inflammation. This mask eliminates oily shine and has matting properties.

Rhinoplasty price

Those who have decided to change the shape of their nose, to get rid of problems associated with the incorrect structure of the nasal septum or cosmetic defects, are interested in how much nose surgery costs. The price of surgery in Kaliningrad depends on what drugs are needed for anesthesia and during the rehabilitation period, what treatment regimen is developed for the patient. If a nose job is required, the cost is calculated after research and determining whether the defect is cosmetic or has a negative impact on health.

What causes a crooked nose?

Frankly speaking, our body does not have strict symmetry. The right and left hands look slightly different, the eyes, ears, etc. are barely noticeable. Therefore, some unevenness in the anatomical structure of the nose can be found in all people without exception, and, of course, most often it does not require correction.

But sometimes situations arise when the displacement of the nose is so pronounced that it significantly changes the entire appearance of a person for the worse. The reasons that lead to such violations can be divided into two categories:

1. Congenital.

They are due to the structural features of the facial part of the skull, which are formed at the stage of fetal development. But this type of curvature is rare, since in children the hard tissues of the nose are represented mainly by cartilage, and they are more plastic than bone and can independently take the correct shape after the birth of the child.

2. Purchased.

This includes most cases:

Most often, the disorder occurs as a result of injury, when the bone and cartilaginous structures of the nose are displaced in one direction or another. In addition, curvature can be a consequence of pathologies in the nasal cavities. Polyps, tumors and other causes that lead to congestion in one nostril force a person to breathe predominantly through the second, healthy one. And in order to improve respiratory function, compensating for the loss of one nostril from working, the second will gradually expand, disrupting the shape of the nose.
It is also possible that a crooked nose may appear after rhinoplasty if it was performed by an inexperienced plastic surgeon.
Separately, it is worth noting that in children, inflammatory lesions of the nasal septum can lead to persistent curvature.
