Nostril reduction is a straight forward procedure.

Nostril reduction is a frequent request in ethnic rhinoplasty especially African American. The ASPS website would be a good starting point for qualified board certified plastic surgeons.

Nostril reduction

Nostril reduction is done through multiple different alarplasty techniques whereby small incisions are made at the base of the nostrils and skin is removed. There are multiple different types of this procedure depending upon the preexisting conditions. Look for a surgeon who has performed thousands of rhinoplasties who would be well adept at performing an alarplasty.

Nostril Reduction

If nostril narrowing is appropriate for you, any experienced rhinoplasty surgeon can do this. If only one nostril is wide, it is virtually impossible to reduce one and achieve perfect symmetry.

Nostril reduction (Nasal ala)

I concur with Dr. Rand. This is a relatively straightforward procedure that is commonly performed by surgeons experienced in rhinoplasty. Seek recommendations from your primary care physician and ensure that they are board certified.
