Many Techniques for Nostril Reduction

Michael A. Persky, MD answers: Are there any approaches to nostril reduction?

Some nose jobs I've seen seem to have included nicely done nostril reduction. Is there just one approach to achieve such result (which will require external incisions on both sides of the wedges), or are there more approaches?

Hi Lisat,

I agree with you that many rhinoplasties involve excellent nostril reduction. There are many different approaches depending on the type of nostril. Most importantly, the excision requires precise diagnosis, execution, and closure to prevent an obvious "surgical" appearance. Nostril reduction is considered when the lateral aspects of the nostril are outside of a striaght line dropped down from the inside corner of the eye. Be well.
