Considering a one piece silicone paranasal implant to help correct a flat face and increase midface convexity. How is patient satisfaction with this type of surgery? How does this implant affect nostril shape? What is recovery like with regards to stiffness and swelling? Supposedly this implant gives the illusion of a smaller nose from the profile by building up the soft tissues around the nose.

Answer: Papanasal implants sound like cheek implants.
Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question you should not lie on it as much as possible, sleeping on your back and side is important in terms of protecting your nose, we recommend our patients to be careful after nose surgery.
Best Regards!
No, alar base reduction simply narrows in nostrils, that's it. The incision is placed right at the nostril sill. It's impossible to raise or lower the insertion of the nostril rim.
Depending on your examination, these indentations may be filled. An examination would be necessary to determine your candidacy for such a treatment. Hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
