Would I Be Able to Have a Natural Looking Refined Tip and Nostril Reduction?

I really want to have my nostrils reduced they flare out and make me appear to be mad at times, I am just scared that I would get a nose job that looks like some of the botched ones that look very obvious they have had a nose job. Do you think it would be easy to fix my nose without making it look unnatural ? Would they have to shave the tip down?

Nose refinement that looks natural

Indeed, the tip of the nose can be refined and feminized according to the pictures shown. A small amount of cephalic trim of the lower lateral cartilages could be removed. Alarplasties can also be performed to narrow the nostrils. It is important to keep the nose looking very natural so that they do not look like you have had a rhinoplasty.

Natural Rhinoplasty Result

No rhinoplasty is "easy", but you should expect a natural result if done by an experienced surgeon. Anything less would be unacceptable for patient and surgeon.

Nostril Flare Correction

Nostril reduction alone in your case would make the tip look bigger. I would suggest a tip-plasty procedure to reduce the volume and narrow then tip. A conservative nostril sill reduction would reduce the flare. Overall, the tip would be narrower all over and remain in balance. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Flared nostrils

A wide base or flared nostrils can be treated surgically with what's called an alar base reduction.  There are three things that may need to be addressed with alar base reduction.  1) The circumference of the nostrils can be made smaller, 2) The width of the base of the nose can be brought in if necessary, and 3) the alar flare, or the amount the ala stick out before reinserting onto the upper lip, can be reduced.  An evaluation would be necessary to assess the other... more
