There may also be a reduced airflow due to allergies and chronic inflammation and this will not be cured by the surgery. In cocaine users, the wall running down the centre of the inside of the nose may develop a hole or perforation. At extreme cases, the nose may collapse due to loss of support from the septum. These are other illnesses which may cause problems with the function of the nose. These needs to be discussed with the cosmetic surgeon, diagnosed and treated if possible before the cosmetic surgery.
Nose surgery can improve the flow of the air, but in reducing the size of the nose, the flow of the air may be reduced. Some measures may need to be taken to imporve this issues.

* The texture and thickness of the skin.
* The strenght and size of the underlying bone.
* The cartilage and the age of the patients.
But it is not just the combination of these factors are involved. The shape of the patient's area to operate, prior to surgery which detrmines the final outcome. The patient's concern may be the most important factor and this is often not easy to determine in pre-operative discussions.

Lasers have been used in medicine and surgery for years. However, technology has recently been developed to allow the precise use of lasers for dermatologic and plastic surgical skin rejuvination. A carbon dioxide laser beam normally vaporizes anything containing water, and rapidly cuts through skin and any other organs and structures. It's usefulness as a cutting tool, however seems to be limited; the bulk and cost of the laser do not seems to be justified by its ability to reduce bleeding and post-operative bruising and pain.
Several years ago, after a careful evaluation of the CO2 laser as a surgical scalpel for cosmetic surgery concluded the main value of the device was a promotional tool for the surgeon.

From 3 to 6 weeks, it becomes thicker and often redder, as it gains collagen protein, and it looks it worst during this phase.

All surgical procedures result in scars. One of the main skills of plastic surgeons is to conrtol scar formation. They do this by carefully choosing incision location and pattern, by gently handling the skin with fine, specialized instruments, and by the skillful and careful repair of surgically or traumatically created incisions and wounds.
The development of minimal incision or endoscopic surgery, is a significant advance in reducing scars for some operations.
Much of how you will form scars, however, depends on the location of the incision, and your racial and genetic pre-disposition to scarring. People with black African and yellow Asian skin are especially prone to excess scarring, and incisions must be very carefully planned.
