Dr. Li Qiang
The ideal candidates for nasal tip and alar plastic surgery are individuals with excessive fat causing thick, bulky nostrils and poorly defined nasal tips. After surgery, it is most important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the wound, and avoid pressure or touching the area to prevent infection, deformation, or pus discharge. After the wound forms a scab, do not pick it off with your hands, as this may cause scarring. It is best to maintain a light, healthy diet after surgery to promote proper wound healing.
