Nostril Reduction on an Oily/thick Skin?
Hi there, I had Rhinoplasty 2 years ago and my surgeon suggested to do the nostril reduction after 1 month of the Rhinoplasty. unfortunately I didn't have the chance to do the nostril reduction, and now after 2 years I'm thinking of it. I went to 2 surgeons and all of them suggested not to do it because of the scarring that will appear afterwards, and they said that the scarring will be visible and will never go away !! ........ is this true?

Where exactly the incisions are made depends on what you are trying to accomplish, and whether you want to narrow the nostrils themselves (for flared nostrils) and/or the narrow the width of the alar base. Excisions of the nostril sill and part of the ala can...
